Factory Rim Question

Do you guys think that factory rims are worth more than aftermarket? I have 89 formula wheels that have only 27,000 miles on them that I would like to sell. I just am not sure how much I should ask for them. They are like new, no problems.

Any ideas??

Junkyards around where I live sell the 'snowflake' (slotted) wheels for $450-$550 w/tires (rubber in any condition)
I sold mine to a friend for $400 with a set of 'slightly used' back tires on them.

I'd say yes and no. Did the formulas come with the rims on the picture at the top of the message board?

Just call a junkyard and ask what a set goes for. You might be delighted but who knows. I know they'd only give me $300 bucks in trade for chome on my '92Z. Those were only available for 2 years.
