Default C5 thinspoke wheels

What does anybody think a set of 17 inch fronts and 18 inch rear 2002 painted C5 thinspoke wheels are worth in better than average condition?
I was sort of thinking maybe $325...........??

They look great on the 88 ups (no spacers) especially in chrome. Around Phoenix, they go for $200-$250. Most are going with the ZO6 or C6 styles now, which depresses the price some. Oh, Pavillians Saturday?

Agreed sounds a smidgen too high... 250-300 Is prob about right considering you can purchase them brand new for 500....

I've paid as low as $40 a piece but with minor paint issues. I like using the wider 18x9.5" on all four.

I just bought some chrome ones brand new for 600 and put them on my 92 with 1 1/4 spacers on the rear and it looks great.

Larry, my car has always seemed high in front. I have lightened it a little but I don't think enough to make it sit so high. The rear has been lowered some in that picture, that I did years ago. I've got the car torn down now and am lowering the front.
