Default What are these wheels worth? HRE 545R
I have an old set of HRE 545R from my brothers car that's been gone for years.
They are structurally sound and don't have any curb rash but they need serious elbow grease. The lips are pretty baked in with dirt so they don't present well.
This pic is the actual set in its heyday.
What do you guys think they're worth? Is this style still desirable?

I’d say 1200-1500 based on how bad they are

Those are the holy grail for Supra owners. Post em on a Toyota forum and charge a premium.

This is now. I will try tomorrow to clean a portion off with some mothers mag polish to demonstrate that it comes clean.

Wow! Nice Oxidization!

I am interested to see if it 'buffs out', I could be interested in the wheels...

Was able to do a test area this am. Full disclosure it will take some work and getting under the face is a pain, but if you have the patience this can done and it’s a cheap set.
There are also a couple small nicks on the lips of two wheels. I can take pics of those for anybody interested.
edit: pics not posting from mobile version will send you a pm

Also please note that the rears are not nearly as bad as the front. These should clean up much easier.
