I've been on this forum for over a year and I haven't heard anyone making a big stink about them, so I doubt they are a hot commodity. Now S5 tail light, the round ones? Sheesh. I wish I had about 10 sets of those laying around.

My friend had a set of phone-dial wheels on his GSL-SE when he first got it. When he got new wheels he sold the phone-dials, I believe he got around $50 for the whole set, with tires.

I hate to say this, but most people can't stand the phone dial wheels. I happen to like them, but I can't think of one other person who shares my opinion. Another problem is that most people convert to the 5-lug wheels with the larger brakes. However, you may be able to sell the phone dial wheels to someone who autocrosses and would like another set of original wheels. You may also have some luck if you put an ad in the 1Gen classified section because they usually retain the 4-lug hubs and usually like to find a good deal on inexpensive alloy wheels. If they are the old steel phone dial wheels then you may want to just sell them for scrap.
