Default What are these Savini wheels/tires set worth?

When I bought my integra recently, I paid an additional $500 for the owner to invlude the set of 18" Savini Forged Wheels that he had on the car. I've since decided to go back to the blades with new tires, so I'm trying to figure out what the wheels are worth.

Details: They are 18" Savini Forged Wheels with a seven spoke design, but I can't seem to find this model anywhere online. It doesn't look like they're made anymore. They are in great shape, with only a few minor scratches. The zoomed in picture below is of the most scratched wheel of the four. The center caps do have a lot of wear/scratches for some reason. The tires are Yokohama Parada Spec-2's with a lot of tread left, 80% I'm guessing. The pictures below don't really do the wheels justice -- with a quick cleaning, they're really gorgeous wheels in almost perfect shape.

Considering the tires alone are $150 new and Savini wheels look to be very expensive, I'm thinking these may be worth quite a bit more than the $500 I paid to have them included. Does anyone have any ideas on a value? Thanks!

Since they're not a real well known brand, and the fact that they're sort of knock-off's, they're not worth much more than $500. I wouldn't pay more than $400 for them, honestly.

Woah, is Savini really considered a cheap knock-off brand? Everywhere I look online, their newer wheels are $1000+ per wheel.

they look to be a replica of a racing hart wheel.

just because a wheel is $1000 + a wheel new doesn't mean anything when determining the used price.

i have purchased plenty of sets of wheels for $60 to $200 that were originally priced at about $500-$1200 new per wheel.

supply and demand. there has to be a need for your wheels first then you have to analyze the market.

u can just try get your $500 back here on h-t/ local classifieds or you may even get more from posting on ebay if you use the right selling technique.

good luck
