If you do ship them, I would not remove the tires. I've shipped and received several sets of wheels and strongly recommend leaving them on for extra protection. Factor in the extra weight of them for shipping, but it will safe you the HUGE headache of trying to make a damage claim through ups or fedex (I've had to make claims through both and it's a big pia)

As far as pricing goes, it's hard to say with the bright color. If they were a standard color, I'd think close to $3500 but figure the new buyer might want to change the color, that would add in $400-$800 to their price so maybe closer to $3k would get them sold faster. Also depends on how fast you want to move them. A higher sale price means you might sit on them for a bit.

Also you mentioned that they're 18x9 and 18x11. Is that measured from outer lip to outer lip? Reason I ask is because HRE and most other wheels company measure from inner lip to inner lip (where the tire beads) and most times the thickness of the lips are around 1/2". Meaning if you measure the wheel from outer lip to outer lip (the true width of the wheel) and come up with 11", it's actually a 10" wheel.

Hope that helps some.
