Default Value of Pitted (chrome) A Molds

All 4 have pitting. They are real A Molds for a ZR-1. Any idea of what they might bring?

I bought a set in much better condition than yours for $400 (Chinese knock-offs) w/o the pitting. (Look very nice).

In the current shape, $200 is likely in the range of offers you'll get. But, they appear to have potential.

You might take them to a reputable plating shop and get an estimate to have them polished and then replated. In perfect condition and recently replated, I would think between $400 to $600 would be in the ballpark. For the right buyer, maybe $800ish? You'd have to decide if it was worth it/practical.

Just my 2 cents - from a previous used A-mold buyer.

Thanks for the insight. I am in the process of trying to locate correct front A Molds or saw blades to go with the rears I have. As soon as I find them the chromies will be on the block.

I'd be interested in these when you are ready to sell them. Let me know.

Hey Paul where did you purchase the knock offs? Did they have the deep lug pattern in the rear?

I will as soon as I can find the balance of the set of wheels I have been searching for.
