1. Used OEM cast one-piece wheels are not worth a whole lot unless they are super rare
2. Dealer prices for OEM wheels are re-fucking-tarded.
3. I can tell you from experience this phenomena is exclusive to BMW. Audi, Mercedes, Japanese...nothing else comes close. Used wheel markets are very reasonable for the other brands.

Well said. I hate the logic of
"well the dealer charges $XXXX, so this is a great deal."
Here's another fantastic example of craziness.

$4,200 for refinished wheels, with "OK" tires. They've got a few sets like these listed (none of which have sold in the last few months) and they still won't budge on their price.
