I have a set of wheels just gathering dust in the garage and I just don't know what to do with them? I don't like the style, bit appreciate them being a nice example of a period.
I don't know if they have any value or if they are just useful for a spare set? Should I keep them just in case? Sell them cheap here to a loving home? Ebay or something for top dollar?
Wheel guys, advice please? They are Gold BBS 16x8, 5x114.3, et30. Not perfect, but very good; would look great with a bit of polish I think.
You're asking if a set of two (probably three) piece BBS with center caps have any value?
I believe the correct answer is Heck Yeah, the Radwood crowd is likely going to love them.
<subliminal message: they're not worth anything, I'll give you fifty bucks for them >
Seriously, those are worth advertising properly once you figure out what they are.
If I only had an e30 m3...

I actually put these on my Z32 to go to Radwood last summer even though the rears are bald... do they have a forum or social group anyone know?
They are the "RS 245" model, apparently a popular jdm fitment. I just don't follow the market or know where to sell them.
Also, I have a history of selling things cheaply to share my good fortune in life. Totally open to being lowballed by the grm crowd, especially if they are picking them up promptly.

Truth! If I still had my e30 I would have already repainted the centers and swapped my hubs...

If you're on the Book of Faces, there is a Rad for Sale group on there. That might be a good place to start.

Brilliant, thanks! I rarely use that so it hadn't occurred to me.
I just need to come up with a price that will make someone quite happy.
Dude, those are sick! I'd totally lowball you to put them on my Dakota but you can cash in on them for sure.

Feel free, I really don't need them for any reason.
It seems like everyone likes them more than I do; made me wonder of they are going for $500 or $2,500 or whatever.
Fwiw, the pair of 225 proxes are in decent nick but the 245s look like someone was doing burnouts or donuts or other shenanigans...
I wish I could commit to picking them up promptly! They would look great on my son's Tbird

Closer to the latter, based on listed prices I've seen recently, especially with waffles and hexes; which is why we (probably)hesitate to lowball you.
Sent you a message but I don't think it attaches names. I lowballed you, and can pick them up this week haha
Right now 5x114 in those sizes are $1k to $1200, lots of people Asking for more but actually trading hands around there. 17" and 15" go for a lot more from what I've seen....and I watch

I can always put them back on the rack with your name on them if you think you want them. They just got in my way yesterday and it prompted me.
I get it, I don't like to lowball people either but in some instances I take accept it in a friendly manner.

DAMN! 5X114.3.
I dearly want to put a set of BBS RS in 17" on my BRZ. But I can't even find 5x100 centers.

Ok, BIG thanks to everyone who replied. I am not a wheel scene kind of guy so I greatly appreciate the insight from those in the know.
Looks like they have already found a new home! Definitely better than sitting on a rack in my garage.

This is why I am not a wheel guy, when I start seeing so many numbers to keep track of my brain just goes numb!
Good luck with the search, I know it isn't easy
