Default What are they worth?



I sold a friend some BBS wheels and I told him I would try to sell these wheels for him.
These wheels came off his 1999 C2. My friend bought this car new and it has 21,000 miles and had only one tire change so the wheels are in good shape although not perfect.
Fronts 99336213406 7.5Jx18-ET-50
Rears 99336214004 10Jx18-E165
Can anyone give me an estimate of the approximate worth of this set of wheels?

I've been looking for winter wheels & there are two comparable sets for sale on the Denver craigslist -

* 18" Sport Classics. Good, but not great condition - $875
* 18" Twists. Very good condition - $700

Both sets are the same width/offsets as your friends. Given the comps, my guess is $750 - $900.

I bought a used set of these (7.5 fronts, 10" rears, 18" diameter) a year and a half ago for $600. They seem to trade for around that these days as well around here. Mine are in great but not perfect condition. I use them for my snow tires. The center caps would be worth maybe an extra $50 if they aren't too faded, chipped, or broken (which they tend to do). Starting in 2002 these same wheels came as an 8" wide front, but otherwise the same. My car is a 2002, they fit perfect. What they have going for them is that they are THE easiest-to-clean wheels I have ever had on any car, those wide curved spokes make cleaning them a joy with no nooks or crannies to worry about.

Trick question...

If they are made in Italy, $500 at most(replica)

If the are hollow spoke, over $1k easily

If they are OEM solid spoke, 500-800 on the avg depending on the condition of the other three wheels.

Sometime you can find a 17" set with tires for $600 in the spring. They are by far the most boring looking rims you can get, maybe because they are so common IMHO. Great for winter tires, easy to clean.

If I'm not mistaken the hollow spoke rims look a little different. The outter ring is a little thicker.

No you are thinking of the 996 widebody style wheels maybe? They made hollow spoke rims that look exactly like the pic above.

These are hollow spoke:
