I'm buying these soon, I think oem rims go for around 400-500?

Do these look in bad shape?

i just sold my rims/tires as a package for $300 with less curb rash than those. But I'm a nice guy and they're going to a fellow RX-8 owner on here...

Why are you buying OEM rims anyway? The only way I'd bother is if they're super cheap and you just need them for winter or something.

FWIW, I just had a wheel straightened and de-curb rashed at Wheel Worx, in Millersville, Md. Looks like new. $150, so figure that into the value. Curb rash is just cosmetic, and you can do a modest fix yourself, but if any of those rims are bent you've got to get them fixed.

I bought my car with a bent rim on the back and bought a near new wheel off of ebay for $70. So I would say theyre worth $250-$300, thats what I would pay.
