Default Revolution Wheels?

I've decided that I want to buy some 13" wheels to autocross my CRX next season. A local guy asked me if I was interested in his 13x8 Revolution's (traditional 5 spoke?) with a pair of AS304 Hoosiers and a pair of AS305 Hoosiers. He says the tires are 50% worn (I know it is hard to value used tires, but that really isn't a major concern as I just bought six Kumho V700's).

It is easy to find the going rate (or at least the asking rate) for used sets of some of the more common 13" wheels, but I haven't found much on the Revolutions. I've been to their website, I found no new pricing.

Any insights on a fair price for a used set of 13x8 Revolutions?

I dunno, but when I got a price on hubcentric 13x6's with the steel lug inserts it was $225 each.
So maybe $250 for the 13x8?

They are really nice, and really expensive, and not easy to get.

And they're tough too. The right front wheel from your car after the crash at the ARRC was a little scuffed up, but I bet it was perfectly usable. What are they, like 8lbs a piece?

I can't find a crack or a bend in that wheel. I mounted it up on the left rear and spun it as fast as I could and it appears to be perfectly round. Just scratched around the rim.
Actually I credit Hoosier's huge "rim protector" for that. The tire took probably 95% of the hit.

Floyd already bought those wheels BTW. Jumped on them like a frenchman in a cheap whorehouse (where ya at SeaBass?) .
