No idea what you are willing to pay for them? Just an FYI, but I kinda doubt unless you have a solid offer you will attract any sellers. One front wheel alone is 995 from GM with no tire on it. The set of tires from tire rack after shipping is nearly 1500. That being said, you are looking at roughly 5500 worth of wheels if they have tires on them. I know I wouldnt let mine go unless your offer for them is in the 3k+ range. Call me greedy but its not like the camaro where you can just jump on craigslist and find 4 sets for sale.

It would be much more cost effective to have your stock wheels powdercoated gloss black than buying a new set of wheels from AUS.

I showed a local wheel repair shop the images of the high gloss black Holden wheels and they didn't think they could duplicate the wheel but did offer regular gloss black. Here are the Holdens:

Chevrolet Camaro SS Wheels
I am looking into something like this for my SS. Replacement tires to match the OE ones on the SS are roughly 1500+ from tire rack with no mounting or balancing. You can go to the Camaro SS wheels and get tires in a comparable type for down closer to 800-1000. Bottom line is that it is cheaper to change to Camaro wheels/tires than to replace just the factory tires on the SS. Plus I can keep my factory tires for things like road racing/ autocross where the added grip of the Potenzas is needed while using a little bit harder tire on the street for longetivy. That is my plan anyway.
Here is a link to a black G8 with similar wheel/tire combo.

Bring the pictures to a powder coater and you'll get a different response. Put a super chrome base coat followed by a black chrome top coat and you'll be in business.

Did it my GXP and it looks good! You can dip whatever color you like and powder coat later if you want.

If the Camaro SS wheel/tire is the way you want to go, try your local craigslist, I have seen a few sets listed locally for 1000-1200 with good tires. Just a thought.

Hard to gauge what the market price will be on these. Not sure if this is appropriate pricing or not. Not mine but these popped up on eBay today in Florida. Chevrolet SS Forged 2014 Wheels Tires Rims 19 inch Pontiac G8 Authentic Alcoa | eBay

That's a good price on them...
If you look CAREFULLY at the pics you will immediately notice they have rubber snap in valve stems which mean the tires have been dismounted completely, the TPM's have been removed, and the tires remounted. I doubt they were rebalanced because if your selling them why do it especially if you are NOT mentioning the TPM's have been removed and leave it up to caveat emptor.
Another honest (sic) ebay seller!

That's a good observation, however I believe that is still a great price for that package. The tires alone are around $700ish leaving the wheels to be just $1895.
$700 for those 4 tires???
Just got to consider that most likely the rims are not factory perfect ... I'll bet there is a least minor tire changing damage.
Also I've seen too many times where the tire beads are gouged when mounting/dismounting. I've even seen broken/damaged beads on tires that visually look ok.
If you're looking for snow rims and don't mind no TPM's or are willing to shell out the about another $150 for 'em offset by what you can sell the tires for and are willing to chance it I call it JUST ok.
Take offs are a good deal sometimes; but only if not messed with like these or are REAL cheap if messed with.
Just my take from decades of experience.
