Default How much are my stock Trans Am wheels worth?

I've been having these things sitting around since i bought the car. So, since the car is officially up for sale now, i really see no point in having them anymore. took the day to clean them up a bit (no curb rash)

just wondering what they are worth/what i should sell them for? i checked ebay and there were none to compare to. so what do you think?

Wow, those look MINT.

I think you could get $500 with the right buyer. Those are clean!

I had a mint set that I took off mine and sold them for $400 bucks. Alot out there but not many without curb rash !! It took me like a week to sell mine so you might try $500 and just hold out.

I think 400 is a fair price for wheels that clean.

I would offer them with the car and ask more for the car,, some ppl want the stock wheels.
What are the tires like,,, that will influence the price alot,,, and if they are no good get them removed so shipping will be cheaper for the buyer.
400-500 is good yah,,, but the only thing that will sell them is chrome... most ppl want the 17s not 16s.
like said hold out for the right price,, someone who needs mint ones will come along.

Generally speaking for these wheels, the tires will double (or triple) the value

Yours look mint though. Try for at least $400!

I sold my recently for$500 off craigslist. Yours definately look cleaner than mine did. Like mentioned already, if you can hold out, you should be able to get $500 easy from someone.

yeah, i'm actually probably going to wait till the car is sold before i sell them, so i give the buyer the option of taking them as well. same thing with the stock hood which i have in storage. i know there are some people who will want the factory items.

3 out of 4 of the tires are in good condition (one has a minor leak). I'm going to keep them on until i sell them. if they sell with the car, or i end up selling them locally i'll leave the tires on. but if i have to ship they're coming off since that'll add a LOT to the shipping price.

Actually the best way to ship them would be to cut out a 16in circle in a piece of cardboard and place it over the rim...then wrap the entire wheel and tire in shipping plastic and ship it that way. It wont cost much more at all than shipping the rim by itself in a box. And I am sure the tires and wheels will be a lot easier to sell than just the wheels.

thanks for the tip, never would've though to package them like that. i'll definitely do that instead.
and the extra i should make selling the rims+tires should offset the extra for shipping.

Clean wheels. $500 isn't too unreasonable. But I wouldn't expect to get an extra dime for those tires, based on the second picture, they are over 80% worn. And the g-Force sports give up at about 80%.

I have differing opinions. The first would be to put them on the car. A large percentage of potential buyers would look at it as a huge bonus. It makes the car look clean and unmolested. It makes it look like it has been treated well.
My suggestion would be this. Wait to sell those. If you have a hard time selling the car, put the wheels on and see if it helps. If you sell the car well without, those are some good looking wheels that would make a third gen really pop. Otherwise I agree with the $500 price point.

They really look great. What did you use to clean the inside of the wheels.

This thread is almost two years old. I have a feeling the OP is long gone since he was selling his car at the time. I agree though, the wheels sure looked good.
