Why is it so hard to unload a set of mint 18's?

Seems like no one has interest I bought my 20's thinking someone would jump on a set of 18's for off road/trail stuff... Did I miss something?

The demand goes up and down, can take a month or two for someone with 20s that wants a set of OEM 18s for winter/off road to show up.

I had my 20s for sale on clist for a month and no actual bites. Ended up deciding to keep them and throw some winter tires on them. I figured someone with the 17s or 18s would be quick to jump on them. But no luck.

Too hard and expensive to ship, and most local buyers don't care. 20's or 17's would probably be easier to unload. People want to 20s for looks, or 17s for snow/wheeling.

They are common wheels that only seem to properly fit the WK2. Most Wk2 owners are upgrading from these wheels as well, so your only real market is Laredo owner's w/ 17's. I picked up a set of these OEM 18" wheels, tires and TPMS for $400. It's even harder to sell the 17s. You will get more for them separating wheel from tire and selling them individually.

Still for sale? Are they the factory 18"s w/ sensors? I don't care about tires, I'm going to use them for my snows(already have 18 snows), and take off my 20's. I would be interested, would need to look at shipping to OH. The 18's I priced weren't bad, except the sensors for it are almost half the price of the rims, what a rip off.

It takes time it took a year to sell my mint 17 on my limited and a two years to sell 20 inch wheels. Post them here and other jeep site.that what I did. Good luck

The 18's are good winter tires/rims in our area of the country (midwest/north). Perhaps put them on Craigslist as such. If they are almost new take-offs, they go for around $500-600. Used with some miles on them, more like $400. Your are not going to get much more, when OEM 20" take-offs go for $800-1200 plus shipping unless you are local and can pick-up. I see sets of both 18" and 20" on Craigslist locally in these price ranges all the time.
