There's probably only a few sets like that in the country, so he can name his price. It doesn't mean he'll get it though.

Somebody will probably pay for them

Agreed. I don't think that is too high with the tires.

Thats really not too bad w/tires. If you had to buy the stock polished wheels, get them chromed & put new tires on them you'd definetly be out more in the end.

Well for Iforged you'd be looking over $2300 AND then have to add at least another $900 for tires. Thats quite a bit extra to save up for

you guys are cheap asses, this thread just proves it.

Those wheels (without tires) sell for $500-750 pretty often. The chrome plating adds about $150 per wheel. Figure tires are another $400 used. Mounting/balancing is another $80.

Total = $1830

Probably a fair price for the money he put into them but i would never buy them. Would rather spend the money on something else to make my car look original.

As well as the comp T/A's

The asking price isn't high at all, but will he get that? Probably not due to the fact people can buy 17x11 ZR1's on ebay all day long for $440. I like them and think they are very unique and would be a great addition to a car but its kind of like a really nice paint job on a car. While it adds great uniqueness and beauty to the car it rarely increases the value drastically

If your looking to restore a car back to close to original and add a lil chrome touch to it those are a good deal..especially with tires...but why wouldnt you scrape a few more pennies out of your piggy bank and get some really custom wheels
