I sold my (early)phones (few schaches and lot of sticki brakedust) for about 250 USD.
Refurbished shiny phones cat top up to 400 I guess.

Cookies are more valuable in my point of view.

If you are wanting to get rid of them how much for a set + shipping to Colorado? I could always use spare parts I guess.
A few years back when aluminum was high I got 100 bucks in aluminum scrap for 6 15s. If you scrap an entire vehicle for mixed metal you are ripping yourself off if you don't pull the rims and turn them in separate. Same goes for A/C units with the condensers, if you turn in a whole unit for mixed metal you might get 6 bucks. If you pull the condenser out its usually worth around 20 in just aluminum at current prices.

Granted if they are in good condition Its always better to find a home for them.

going rate for 944 spec guys is $200 for a set. No tires coindition is not important as long as they are true. Tires are useless for most of us. That applies to 15x7 cookies and late offset one Phone dials in 15x7. Early offset phone dials are of less value since most guys perfer the cookie cutter in that offset. The for the late offset the only legal wheel is the phone dial.

If I were in so-cal I would drive over and snag all the wheels from you as is no cleaning. However being in Az means the drive is just not worth it.

My car only runs early offset so the late offset stuff I would have to buy and then resell. I could do that, but rather not unless it very easy. (ie I drive 40 minutes grab them and go). Early offset I can use on my race car, but I already have 3 sets of good race wheels and 1 set of non race legal wheels with old street tires I can used to store the car on if needed.

Well, that is a little more promising. I'm headed out there on Friday anyway, so I'll have a chance to double check what I have. Thanks for all the input guys.

Sabre makes a gov profile 14.5 middy, which, overall, is probably a better barrel, but I'd like to have the lightweight.
