Brand new in boxes never mounted are they worth $10,000 ?

Since these CF wheels are unique to the 5 year run of the R models don't expect the price of these wheels to come down any day soon and would suggest that once Carbon Revolution discontinues build this style of wheel/size for the R models that prices may in fact go up as they will be very hard to find.Ok Thanks for your input,I know its about $6k less then then buying from a ford dealer and they are still in the boxes.I thought it woud be nice to have an extra set on hand,but will prices come down on carbon fiber maybe they will be less $$ in a few years
One of the things that helped me justify the additional cost of buying the R was that just a few days before I was able to get an allocation, I had received a decent price on the carbon wheels from the dealer where I bought my non-R. I'd already spent a fair amount upgrading my non-R with things like the R splitter, rear-seat delete, and a great reproduction rear wing, and had the springs and swaybar sitting on a shelf waiting to be installed. But, the price difference for me to get the R really amounted to selling off all of those parts I'd already bought and pocketing the money I was about to spend on the carbon wheels.
But, now that I have an R, I've been thinking that it may be a good idea to pick up a spare set of wheels, just to leave laying around in the boxes. About a year ago, the price they quoted was just over $9k for the set of four (without center caps, lug nuts, or TPMS). I ping'd the parts manager at that dealership recently to see about price and availability these days. If the same or less, I may snag a set to pack away as a "just in case" insurance plan.
Based on a previous post from @Trackaholic whereby he posted a link that shows Carbon Revolution reducing the price of the CF wheels for our R models I also thought it might be a good idea to have a spare set of CF wheels for my car therefore I called the Parts Manager (who I know very well and has sold me a lot of parts for my cars over many years) for an updated quote.One of the things that helped me justify the additional cost of buying the R was that just a few days before I was able to get an allocation, I had received a decent price on the carbon wheels from the dealer where I bought my non-R.
