It all depends on the market and the condition of the wheels. Consider that
well used Panasports (which are more desireable) can be had for $300-400. A
used set of Minilites can easily fetch $800. I sold a set of very
lightweight (11-12 lbs ea) 10 spoke period American racing wheels to a list
member for $200 (he shall remain nameless unless he wants to come forward
:-).
For your Westerns, I'd say $250, give or take $75, should be fair if they
are in decent shape. If you are buying them, offer $100. If you are
selling them, ask for $400. State that your are willing to negotiate either
way. If bent or out of round, this means a big discount. Curb scrapes
matter to some folks while others could care less. Ultimately they are only
worth what someone is willing to pay. :-)
Hope that helps.
