Default What are factory chromes worth?

I have a pristine set of 17" GS430 wheels with new rubber on my GS. What are they worth? I know they are a rarity to find, and I have 5 wheels with new rubber, Thoughts?

I don't think the price will be too huge for those since most will probably invest in aftermarket wheels. Maybe around 700 I'll say. But try looking on Sewell they'll show how much those are going for.

this are worth as much as someone is willing to pay
with new tires $500-$800 (on the other hand you could find nice aftermarket 20 with nice or sometimes brand new rubber for around $1000)

These are nowhere to be found in the classifieds as people have started WTB threads with no responses, so I figured I'd see what the community had to say. I have a little over 500 in tires alone, so I figured the wheels themselves are worth $600. I KNOW most will opt for aftermarket wheels, but there is a select crowd wanting the OEM chromes. Thanks for the input so far.

800 at most boss. Good luck.

If I wasn't into modding my GS the way I am i'd pick them up from you.

Lol @ this thread. I was one or the people who stated a WTB thread. They are worth as much as the buyer is willing to spend. I do know that there is no way in hell that I would pay 20" rims and tires price for stock 17". I would like to have a set but I don't want them that bad to over spend...I do have chrome 16" on my car now
