Pasting my same response from Pelican. $1500 is more than brand new retail!
These are now sold under the Maxilite name. Available new for about $1100/set. Used, if they’ve been spun on a tire machine and checked for bends, would be 50-75% of that assuming no curb rash. If they haven’t been checked, I wouldn’t pay more than $100/wheel as at least one of a set is likely to need straightened. Refinishing curb rash wheels is $175/wheel where I live, which means that there’s no reason to buy a set of these that need work. Decent and cheap repro’s, but not worth a lot.
Given the color, I would anticipate discounting any of those estimates above. Add $200-300 if the tires are truly new and date codes are within ~3 years.

Thanks for the info Nick. I spoke with GoKart last night about the wheels and it's tough to get the numbers to make sense once you take into account shipping and wheel refinishing. Great info about Maxilite though, I didn't know they were still being produced and at a reasonable price too. Do you know if ordering through their website is the best place to buy from?
I haven’t bought them through maxilite, but I’ve gotten some from FVD, which is the same wheel. They’re a great cheap alternative to the factory wheels in my opinion. I’m waiting for someone to commission a wheel maker for a lightweight forged one-piece repro. There’s obviously a market!
