Default AU XR8 Series2 17" wheels: what are they worth?

Hi,

I have just replaced the wheels on my 2000 AU XR8, and now they are just sitting in the garage taking up space.






The tyres are not that old, they are Sonar brand and are 235/45/17 (id say about 85-90%). The wheels have gutter rash so arent perfect, but they are round still and and are balanced ready to put on.

So what are they worth? I have no idea. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Deaks

$50, but I'm generous so I'll give you $100.











Seriously, I'd reckon they're worth at least $100 per rim second hand, plus whatever the tyres are worth.

I'd say they're only worth what the tyres are worth .. These rims aren't worth much anymore unless someones desperate for a set ... $400 - $450 at a guess.

What a bummer your so far away, myself and a few others are chasing one each as spares..

Id say the sets worth 400 all up. I see em on u-pay for between 250 to 450.. See others for more, but they dont sell. Theres always sets of them around for sale..

I wouldnt put a set of 19's or 20's on my XR unless I wanted to completly ruin the ride quality of the car. Id go upto 18's.

$400 for those wheels tops. They need around $80-$90 a wheel spent on them to get them like new Deaks

cracking cheap 20s/19s and defects, means a good set of 17" are worth more than you think

$400-$450 MAX if you are lucky.

$350 will probably see them go quick.
