Silver painted wheels aren't nearly as desirable as the chrome ones.
I'd hesitate to say maybe more like around ~$800, maybe more/possibly less.
The only way you'll find out is to list them for sale.

$800 on a good day. I saw a set of the same alloy wheels sell on Ebay "in new" condition for $700. They werent exactly snatched up either.

silver ones aren't worth as much, probably $500 without tires if they aren't curbed.

chrome ones sell for $1000-1200 in good condition. I just bought two complete sets of chrome ones in the last month.

Ah. And I happen to have some 17x9 SLP Firehawk rims on my ride. The triple chrome plated ones in very good condition. Only thing is the other night one of my centercaps grew some freakin' legs and decided to walk off. So now I only have 3 . About to order some SLP center caps, So it's all good! I been having thoughts of either getting rid of them or trading them so I can get some C6 rims.

You may or maynot know this but the original caps have what they called "rivets" around the circle, the new ones do not, they are smooth, you cannot buy the original style rivet caps anymore and if you find them used be ready to pay big bucks...the non rivet caps are cheep for a set thru slponline or ebay thru david hamburger aka "tinylittlecars" or "ACS".

Yeah they have 6 of them around the center cap. Just looked at the 3 that I still have on my car. The SLP center caps I had found also have 6 rivets on them.
