1989 Sports package rims?

Hi I'm new on this forum and I just have a quick question. My friend recently aquired a set of 15x7 RX-7 "sports package rims", 5 lug from his boss. He knows another one of my friends wants new rims for his rx. He told my friend $250. Are these rims worth that much? If not how much are they worth. I dont want my best friend getting ripped off.

He hasn't taken a pic and I dont have a digital camera.
The rims are grey and feel really light. If that helps any.

Something else that might help is that the box says the rims are primes or something very similar to that.

what box?
Are these stock wheels or aftermarket?
what year rx-7 did they come from (if stock)
In any event, if they're stock, unless they're the JDM mesh wheels from the special issue car (forget the name just now) OR 'vert wheels, $250 is too high

He told me they are stock rims that came with the sports package 1989 Rx-7. As I said my friend got them from his boss who no longer has an rx-7. When he showed me the rims they were each individualy packed in boxes labeled Prime. I'm sure the rims are stock because the center says mazda on it.

Can you describe how they look? Search on google or something and link us a pic of them if you can find them.

If I can get a hold of a camera today I will post them tomorrow. But for now I'm still searching google looking for a pic. Is there a site anyone knows of that posts pics of different year RX-7 rims?

There was no "sport" package in '89, as well as no 15x7 wheels that ever came factory on Rx-7s. If they are "Prime" wheels, they are aftermarket (Wal-Mart..) wheels.
