Hello all,
I had purchased a new 2006 Shinka last year and at 700 miles I used a wire wheel cleaner on the rims and it stained them. Since it was my fault I had to pony up for replacements. I have since sold the car and I have had the rims sitting in my basement for over 1 year.
I have toyed with the idea of either getting them painted, dipped, powder coated, etc or selling them "as is". They are perfect other than small black dots on all 4 rims. What do you think that they are worth?
I guess that they would be perfect for someone to refinish or to use as winter/track rims.

Thanks CC91

Here is an example of the staining:

 

I take them for 120 including shipping each. Brand new one cost 400 shipped. Just so you know.

You NEVER, EVER use products with Acid in them.

 

If I were you, I'd sell them on the Mazda3/6 forums, they go crazy over them

 

I take it then that these wheels wil fit 3, 6 and 8?
Do you recommend any 3/6 forums with high traffic?
I am not sure what they are worth but I know what I paid for new ones and I would like to get some of that money back.

I appreciate the info so far!

In the spring Im going to put our stock RX8 wheels on our Mazda 3..

 

where are you located? i know there is a guy in CT looking for cheap 18" wheels to put his winter tires on. you're not going to get much for them the way they are but at least you can get something.
