What could I get for my wheels and tires?

I am currently looking into getting some 17” wheels form my car and am therefore looking to sell my current wheels and tires. I am gauging interest and looking into what a fair selling price would be. They are 91 z28 16” wheels that have been stripped, sanded to 2000 grit, and polished. The inserts have been painted with self-etching primer, three coats of argent metallic (charcoal) base, and two coats of clear. The tires are new Kumho Ecsta Supra 712’s (255/50-16’s) and were mounted and balanced after the wheels were polished. The wheels and tires only have 800 miles on them. I would include the polished center caps along with a few extra ones, the new lugnuts, and the new rear spacer plates for iron drums.

Any feedback would be appreciated. I am only gauging interest at this point and am wondering what a fair selling price would be.

Here are a few pictures of the wheels and tires.

Those are some very nice looking wheels. As for a price: I attend many car parts swap meets each year and from what I have seen, $550 would be the top dollar and I still think that would be difficult to get.

sbrice18fan - Is that price just for the wheels or are you talking
about if I include the new tires and lugnuts.

I think the rims and tires would be a lot easier to sell separate since you wouldn't be limited to only Camaro owners wanting that size of tire and giving you top dollar for the tires.

The wheels are probably going to sell to someone who may already have good tires, but they don't have the time or knowledge to tackle polishing their own wheels themselves.

I'd look for around $3-$500 for the rims and $50-$75 per tire.

That is wheels and tires, you may have better luck seperating them. I saw a set of Z/28 16" rims (unpolished) go for $220 at the last swap meet that I went too.

stock 91-92 z rims are extremely expensive to replace new.

you can pick chrome aftermarket iroc and z28 wheels for roughly 1,000

i sold mine with michelin pilots for 900+ shipping.

i'd say somewhere between 4-600 area, who knows; you might get more if they are really nice.
