You are only gonna get ripped off if you accept a deal you don't like

In the end it is up to you how much you are gonna pay. If his wheels are "better", why swap with you??

If you value his wheels more than yours, then just pay what ya think is fair!

he wanted to put the standard wheels back on his ek9 but mine are the tegiwa reps anyway in a 16
he thought they were worth the retail price lol so i turned him down

although does anyone know anywhere i can get them refurbed cheap?

If he thinks they're worth retail why wouldn't you just go and buy retail

How much do these reps weigh? IIRC the OEM EK9 wheels are quite heavy.

EDIT:

15" OEM 7.2kg
16" reps 7.8kg
