Default What are my Weld ProStars worth?

I am wanting to buy some new wheels from Larry at Speed Inc. Just wondering how much my ProStars are worth?

Fronts 15x 3.5
Rears 15X10 7.5" backspace.

with tires, I see pro-star sets go anywhere between $600-$1000 (depending on how much meat is left on the tires, condition of wheels and how quick you want to sell them). Not sure if you can really put a number on them.

::shrug:: Sign them and sell them for more than they would normally go for

I would say 500 is fair for the set of wheels (assuming they are in good condition). That's what I see them average on craigslist and such. Try out racingjunk

Maybe $600 on a good day. Usually used parts are 40-60% of their OE value.

I am selling my rears too, so you better not flood the market with your junk

If they are screwed they usually bring a little less. I think around 500 to 600 also. I have also thought about selling mine but dont want to give them away.

400-500 drilled 500-600 not drilled. You gotta find a dedicated drag racer to buy drilled rims. What rims you going with? Billet Specialties?

billet specialties ftw! those would go quick on racing junk I imagine, only thing that would hurt is the backspace isn't close for anything but a 4th gen.

Don't sell them. Mount some smaller diameter slicks on them and use them as a dedicated 1/8th mile wheelset. You won't get **** for them anyways, maybe 50-75 a wheel. That wheel is too popular. What new wheels are you going with? I hope you are going to stand out from the crowd. Don't say Billet Specialties Street Lite, they are already a little played out if you ask me. Try these ones:

If you paid $1400 then you got the forged ones which look a little different than the Street Lites. The wheels I posted are from Champion cwibeadlock.com and they can make them with whatever backspacing you want. They come in a black polished wheel as well, which look pretty good, but I'm not a black wheel fan.



they have other styles too:

I have sold a set for $400 and they looked mint. So its up to the person how much they want to spend. All day frontrunners are near 200 pair. The rears you can easily get 200-250. Hope this helps
