Does this sound like a good wheel/ tire trade?

So, I have been trying to figure out a way to swap my 15's stock 16" alloys with about 2k miles for a set of flat black pro comps and a better set (than the dunlops) of tires with minimal up front cost.

So I put my wheels up for trade. I have been offered a set of steelies with tpms and a set of Cooper tires off a 2009 with about 20k on them +$500 cash. I have dealt with this guy before and it is a one owner vehicle and serviced at dealer.

Keeping in mind that this set of steelies would just be a transition set to help me afford the wheels I want, does this sound like a solid deal. The $500 will cover the Pro Comps with a little left over, saving me from having the full cost of the wheels and tires out of pocket.

 

If you sell your alloys outright, you will typically get around $500 for them. Effectively this is equivalent to trading your new but really crappy tires with 40% worn but potentially good tires.

Keep in mind TPMS sensors are not interchangeable between alloy and steel wheels. And 5-year old sensors typically have no battery life left. So figure new TPMS sensors into your budget if you give away your 2015 sensors.

 

Yes I will have to buy new tpms. I also do not plan on keeping the steelies very long. They are just to "hold me over". So I am guessing I should be able to get $200-300 out of them locally as a complete set.
