That's what I will pay for Watanabes? I think you'd be sadly disappointed, I would not pay anything like that for a set - in fact I'd be hard pressed to pay that much for shitty old wheels of any description.
I don't mean to shitcan the thread, but I'm not going to let some kid pay $1100 for a set of wheels are are, on a good day, worth about half that. Half the problem is that one person pays a price for a set of wheels, and all of a sudden everyone thinks that's what they're worth. Sure, there are people out there with too much money and no brains, that doesn't mean that what they have paid is a reasonable price... and unfortunately if more then one person has been dudded then they band together to defend themselves and then suddenly it seems like they are the majority when there are really only an handful.
A good mate paid $450 for a set of (yes, genuine) Watanabes with tyres from an importer about 6 months ago in perfect condition. I personally was offered a set for a similar price from another importer in the last few months, but being in a Sprinter offset they didn't suit my car so I let them go.
In fact a mate paid something like $700-$800 for a set of 17x8" and 17x9" Work wheels (again, genuine) for his car... given the size and the equally 'upmarket' brand I think that $400-$500 for a set of the hallowed Watanabes seems more than reasonable.
Hell for $1100 I could have a set of Minilites (sp?) in any size up to 16x7" and any offset I want absolutely brand new. I know which I'd prefer!
