Default Thinking of Selling Rims

I have a set of stamped SALEEN rims 18 x 8.5. I was thinking of selling them but im not sure how much to sell 'em for. There is a hairline crack on one of them but it will hold air for a while. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Hairline crack on the tire?

The problem with selling wheels is that people can buy them super-cheap on websites. There isn't a high demand for used ones because the price markdown isn't much.

If you want to get a good sum of cash, sell 'em all for 350$ + Shipping. You'll score a deal somewhat quick. Any higher and you'll be waiting a long time. NOT because they aren't worth it, but because people can buy them new for 89$ on several websites with free shipping.

What websites sell new wheels with free shipping for 89$ ?? im assuming they must be replicas of the less popular styles, and in smaller sizes ?? I ask this because i am looking to upgrade my wheels; not as a skeptic. Thank you

Yeah, not a bad deal if you could find 'em at that price. Anyways, the hairline crack is on the rim but i was told it could be welded.

I was just thinking out loud about how much i could probably get for these rims or if there was interest. I have a couple of pm's already so well see. Thanks fellas....

American Muscle had a sale- Mustang FR500s for 119
eBay stores sell cheap knock-offs for 89$ a pop

I wouldn't buy 'em, but many, many, many people do.
