I'd put them on ebay... they seem to do the best on there (I've never seen a set with new tires sell for less than a grand).

If you want to sell them on here then I'd say you might want to start around $1000 and negotiate from there. Say the tires are worth about half and the rims the other half.

You will probably have at least half the people that respond to the post that just want to buy the rims or just the tires and ask you to separate. I'd be interested but I don't have any money for things I don't need right now and the shipping from CA would kill me LOL.

If you don't like that price then search the parts for sale posts and get an idea that way (try Firehawk.org too).

Good luck.

IMO, they would be worth more if they weren't powder coated. I have my original set of chromed Firehawk rims that I am hanging on to because they seem to be getting more and more rare as time goes by. Plus they aren't being produced anymore.

The rims are definately rare, but you can still find them if you look around for a little while. Weeks can go by between seeing them for sale and then out of nowhere there will be 3 sets available.

I sold a set of chrome ones for $750 not too long ago and had plenty of people looking but it still took some time to sell them. The fronts where mint but there was some chrome lifting on the back. I thought it was an OK price. When SLP was still selling them you could get a set of painted ones used for $400 pretty easy. But people don't seem to like the painted ones. Go figure.

Like I said I'd love to have a set of black ones (for my black car) and use them for a set of track tires but its just not in the budget.
