Four factory GT3 wheels used as track wheels. Owner represents wheels as straight but cosmetically challenged. Set includes 4 Toyo R888's with a day of track use. Pictures attached and your help appreciated. What's a fair price? Thanks

Depends on how much track use they have seen. Most people don't consider wheels a wear item, but if you ask any race wheel vendor they will tell you 3-4 years max on a set of wheels that see the track a lot is when you should replace them. The heat from the brakes does eventually make wheels more brittle and prone to cracking.

Serge944 too funny because I actually used to be in Real Estate. But, in this case I am the buyer so you can't give me too hard a time! My friend is the seller and we want to be fair with each other. Thanks for your input.

To be fair to the seller. Despite the fact that they have been really badly treated I would have thought the wheels alone would be worth 1200-1500. The tires looked barely used and therefore must be worth at least half price. I would have thought this set is worth $2k+.
If the point of this thread however was to argue the price down however (rather than arrive at a "fair" price) then please ignore this post.

Thank you all for the input. We worked it out between us. I'll probably take the suggestion and use up these tires then have the wheels refinished.
