Default Wagon wheels

I just put Zr 1 wheels on my 2000. What's a fair price for 4 stock wagon wheels. Thank you in advance.

If they are perfect you may get someone to pay $150-$175 for all 4, $200 if you're lucky. The buyer would have to be local because shipping them could cost as much.

You might find someone willing to buy them and use them as track wheels. Perhaps $150-200 would be a good price.

You could save them for the next buyer of the car, but then he might not buy the car once he knows he has to store the wheels.

I have a set in my garage, takeoffs complete with near bald tires.

Standing offer: anyone can take them away for free.

This was my plan. I have my wagon wheels and had them spun just to make sure they are straight. Now trying to figure out a "reasonably priced" track day tire that will fit the stock rims....

You're dreaming if you think somebody will pay that much for these ugly wheels. I've got some sea front property here in Nevada I'll give you a deal on if you're still in lala land. Just look on here, people are giving them away!
