Default OEM polished sport wheels value?

I just bought an 04 Sport Suspension with the factory polished wheels but i'm not sold on the polished look. I will probably buy some of the hyper silvers at some point but knowing that they are OEM and are in EXCELLENT condition (no curbing) what do you feel I can get for them? I would not include tires as I would reuse those.

make sure they are toyota wheels first.must have toyota on the inside of the wheel.they have knock offs.if they are real toyota wheels my guess would be $700 and up if they are in excellent condition.

I checked a few days ago and did confirm they have 'toyota' stamped on the back. I was shocked to be honest.

Seeing as chrome replicas go for $668+shipping on oewheels.com I would think the OEM would go for at few hundred more

if you want to sell them, used are @$225 each so you might get $900 in a few years or you could ask for a lot less and sell quickly. I paid @$250 for 17 inch chrome OEM wheel. funny that 17 cost a little more, but there are a lot more 430's on 18's. good luck

I just bought an 05 sport with 18s. They have fairly new tires. Would consider a trade since I am about to change wheels. Mine are the dark grey-graphite color. Where do you live?

They seem to go for $600 to $1,000 from what I've seen. The chrome wheels are harder to find and seem to be more in demand than the other finishes.

I agree, if someone has a single bent wheel and needs a single chromed wheel, they have to pay for it ... because it wont be easy to find.

But no one in their right mind is going to buy four used (ugly ?) chromed Lexus wheels only for $ 900. They go for this price around here ONLY if they have new premium tires.

Also not many people even want 17" wheels on a LS ..... these days Honda Civic have 17" wheels, lol Having said this, I have winter and summer wheels and BOTH are 17" .... but I am not the norm here.
