How desirable are the carbon blade alloys?

I have a set on my car. I like them as a wheel but I think that because the car is black they get a bit lost on the car.

I thinking of maybe getting something else and am trying to work out the cost to change. I have seen some for sale for £1500 with tyres but have no idea if or how long they would to sell. I dont really want to buy some new alloys and have the old set sat unsold for ages cluttering up my garage.

Are they desirable in the F Type market?

Do you think they would sell in a reasonable time?

and does £1500 sound about right with good tyres on?

Thanks
 
Personal choice, but to me they are the best F type wheel by far and formed one of the must have features when I was looking
Mine's dark grey with black pack and think they are spot on.

There are a couple of sets in ebay for £1800 without tyres and the cost £3600 new, so think your price is too low

You'd be best to do a swap and cash adjustment to make it quick and easy.
 
Very...especially if you have the Forged Carbon Blades, I would have them valued.

Having had a couple of different styles, the CB's are by far the easiest to keep clean behind the spokes and IMO better than the black Cyclones we had as they scratch so easily.

How do I know if they are the forged one's?

I think I was undervaluing them as mine are all mint, unlike the ones on eBay.
 
Mine is IRR and they were the only wheels I wanted. Maybe they pop more on lighter colours. I reckon they will sell easily.IMG_0262.JPG

It will tell you in the original build sheet that comes with the car.

There appear to be several versions of the blades; I have spotted a set on a V6 that were almost matt finish (the V8R's are satin gun metal) and of course there are the cast versions on the 400sport that come without the carbon inserts. I see there is now a silver blade 'copy' on the Jag website that's available.
 
I have the 19" turbine alloys on my black v6s I am having them colour changed to wet look carbon by rimtec Stockport
