200- 400 depending on the condition, more with tires. I'm assuming you are talking about the stock 15*6.5 from the convertible.

Not to be a smart ***, but how much are they worth? However much someone's willing to pay for them. List them for less and they'll sell faster, list them for more and it'll take longer. If they're in good condition and you make sure they're nice and clean for the pictures, you'll have an easier time selling them. Search the classifieds for examples, then you'll know about where to price them.

ty all for the input. black91n/a its obvious they are worth only what some one is willing to pay for them. as is anything. i only asked for a ball park estimate because i got a set when i bought the car but it came with 18s already so i dont need them. there must be some kind of demand for the bbs wheels around here cause thats all i hear about any 2nd gen stock rims that are in demand. so 300-500. would 500 be in mint cond with tool or without???

You can't expect others to do your work for you, and only you know the real condition of the wheels.

I paid $82 for this set with caps plus $200 S&H. Go to eBay and do a search of the completed auctions for vert wheels and that will give you an idea of what these wheels can realistically bring. IMO $500 is unrealistic. Something like $200-$300 for the wheels in good condition, plus S&H if applicable, is more realistic.

Uhmm, that looks a little backwards? I think he probably meant $200 +82 s/h.

The BBS wheels are very nice wheels-light weight, fairly wide and quite modern looking. I like them a lot and have a set on my vert and on my TII. They are great auto-x wheels.

That being said, they are still 15" wheels. That limits their value in todays world. Even 16" wheels are too small by todays standards. Maybe you can hook up with the Honda JDM crowd-those guys are doing smaller wheel/tire setups than they used to. I don't think they will pay any more for them than the Mazda guys though...

I think that you will be in the $100-250 range without rubber and probably at the high end since you have the center caps.

Good luck and I hope you sell them for higher than that!

Nope, what I said stands. I paid $82 for the wheels and $200 shipping. I guess nobody wanted to pay that much for shipping so I won the bid. Total price: $282 with fair tires. If you have ever shipped wheels, you will understand why people price the shipping high. It is a real PITA! Most sellers want local pickup for just that reason.

I recently shipped a set of RX-8 wheels and it took me the better part of 3 hours to pack them correctly so that they would not be damaged in shipment. When you add up the cost of packaging materials, something for your time, travel to a UPS outlet and the actual cost of UPS ground shipping, it gets very expensive.
