Are you asking what stock tires & wheels are worth? If so, which factory wheels and which brand and model of tire?

If the tires were rotated, pull $40 outa your wallet to have them removed, trashed and recycled into basketballs. Then, sell the rims for $100 and buy me some Advils for the Migrane reading that post gave me.

If the wheels aren't wagon wheels(the earlier C5 wheels) a $100 for each wheel and tire wouldn't be a bad deal at all

Hopefully she did not have the tires rotated - you don't do that on a C5. As for the price, if the tires are like new they should be worth at least the $100 each. Then depending on what wheels are on the car, you can add some more.

All in good fun. Boys will be boys and we still laugh when someone steps in a pile of canine nuggets. Just wipe your shoes off and enjoy the moment

I agree, tires, depending on brand/age, slightly used still seem to be in the $100-$150 range (ea).

Wagon wheels are great for trackers, but only worth selling locally in the less-than $200 range as shipping usually prices them out of their value. Spokes, in the $300 range, but again, shipping usually kills the deal.
