rim appraisal

i was wondering what a set of 15in 2piece weds would be worth they have a bit of curb rash i need to fix and repolish them otherwise theyre in good condit. they have a crome lip with the center being gold/copper the look amazing on my 7 but i hate to ruin them futher should i say screw it and run them or sell them and buy some cheaper rims with the same desing, and last i have a bet with my dad that there worth alot more than he thinks they are.

Personally, I would rather see a close up of the rims, instead of you, lol. Post close up pics of the rims, along with any damage. You didn't mention what rim width or tire size.

200$ tops ... I'll buy them for that price if you really want to. Trochoid doesn't know anything about cars. All he knows is how to get older

On a more serious note, from that angle they do look pretty nice and clean, depending on width though, I'm going to guess that they are about 7" wide and that they are the 4x110 bolt pattern, maybe around 800$. 15" is a very desired wheel size for these cars I find and perform rather well with them giving tirewall thickness

You won't find wheels new like that any more, so I think its definately worth redoing them.

If you don't you could probably sell those in a second, maybe 400-500 bucks for the entire set.

Dont sell them youll regret it. And you will have a hard time finding wheels for the 4x110. You have chooses but not as many as you might think. $450 & up

I love those wheels so keep them

thanks guys i think ill keep them for now. they are regular spacing and bolt patter ect. the rear tires have a bigger sidwall about 23-24in i think and fronts are about 21in ( my pic was taken in the mornig before my first day as a sr.) i just wanted to sort thru some numbers people gave that were way off(1500-6000) since most of u said about 500-600 in good condit. oh and i like rotarys way better than corvetts i just like the color red
