Somehow I got subscribed to this thread when it began.... since I have been tuned in...

Can anyone tell me roughly what a set of nice wagon wheels are worth? I have a set to sell. I didn't see any presently in the for sale forum.

I think anywhere from $250 to $400 is about right. Depends on the buyer.

thanks to all
It seems they are not a performance item, just available, "racer cheap"
I wanted to know since they look heavy and were not stock Original wheels were probably sold to the same guy who has the missing disk changer from the trunk, plus all the owners literature
Still I got a deal (? plus a little fettering to do

still I was hoping for weights of the wheels or where to find info for comparisons opinions are fun , but I was hoping for hard facts

It seems there are varied opinions about the chrome being factory I don't know, but considering how many sets are out there, I don't see this as a "DIY" deal
And most dealers would rather make money on floor mats and warrantees than expend money on unsold cars Plus, these are steel wheels, I don't think they came painted at those price points Says "GM" on the outside of my wheels It could be the "black book " has a few errors, I don't know , but logic would seem to favor , because of the numbers sold, that it is a factory chrome wheel Just a guess

Hey, my period key doesn't work
