I paid $50 each for new Firebird takeoff wheels from SLP.
For a full set of used wheels, I would probably ask $100 total.

I mean if you go through E bay you could probally get close to 50-70 per wheel, but its all about finding the right buyer, On here there pretty much worthless b/c most people have them, they only want them if there 1. demodding and selling there nicer wheels or 2. want a winter set. But on E bay theres a chance that someone bent a rim or two and I would think there would be more of a market there, then a performance site, but if you just buyin new wheels I would hold on to them in case you ever sell the car your new wheels will be worth alot more and usually rims dont add a ton to the overall value of the car

I paid $100 for a pair of stock z28 wheels. 50 for all 4 is really bad if you're the one selling.

yah, if they are in decent condition with newer tires 200 dollars for all 4 is a reasonable price.

I think you could definitely get more and I agree with what's already been said: try putting them on ebay. You'd never guess who'd actually buy something, let alone who'd be selling it. When I was looking for just one zr1 wheel, ebay was my best bet and I got it. I think you could do well per wheel, try it out. Worst comes to work maybe put them on craigslist or on the forum.

I needed one matching chrome Z28 wheel bad and got a used one for $100 shipped, but that was just for one wheel; I'd never have paid $400 for the set and he was only asking like $200-$300 IIRC.

Post them up for like $200 + shipping firm on this board and see if you get any bites. If not, either come down or sell them to the other guy.

Some wheels are more desirable than others. I don't know how in the hell anyone could sell a snow flake, but the ZR1's sell like hot cakes. A few days after posted they are gone.

yea, you might also wanna try the regional section here, or find a local board, or Craigslist like someone already said, your best bet would be to sell them locally and meet somewhere, b/c shipping will be crazy, its usually like 35-40 bux a wheel

I just sold my stock T/A painted wheels with tires for $100. But I was trying to give my buddy a deal. You can usually get $150-$250.
