What work wheels are these??

I have been trying to figure out what wheels these are, and what they are worth. They came on the car I just got my hands on, but they are not my first or even 10th choice. I'd like to sell them one day and need to know where to start price wise. They have brand new BF G Force T/A drag radials. The front wheels are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5.

Every wheel has the brand engraved or on a sticker on the inside of the wheel. If it doesn't, they're probably cheap knock offs.

The center caps are from VS-XX, but the VS-XX's are different, at least the current ones are.

I'll have to pull them off to see what model they are. These are original work wheels. The previous owner of the car was in the military and brought them back from Japan. He said they were on a supra in japan.

Looks like they could be the original work rezax, not sure what they are worth but rezax II's are some of my favorite wheels. I believe the rezax line was forged and priced higher than the cast face vs-xx.

Those are actual Work wheels, they are old, discontinued VS-MX's. They were one of the first of the VS series.

Nice wheels.

They look very close, but those are not the original rezax. The rezax had the center of the wheel sandwiched between the lip and barrel, those have the center mounted outside the lip. Also the center caps and the spacing on the spokes is a bit different, I wouldn't know the difference except I have a set of the original rezax.

I think JDriftM has it right with them being an old VS series.

Since nobody mentioned a price yet I'll take my guess. Depending on how nice the finish is on them, looks decent/good from those pics, I'd guess around 800-1500 just rims, 1800-2500 with the new tires depending on the offset of the rims and what kind of buyer you find. My set was $700 for 17x8 +4mm, 17x9 +16mm, but the shipping from Australia was $600, then another 700 for the star specs, 265 and 235 widths.
