Price for Hand polished rims.

I'd have this up in the for sale section, but they are not ready yet.

I have some OEM rims that I was hand polishing. I have just gotten new axis shine 19 rims, So I have no need for the OEM anymore. The rims are basically in mint condition. I've hand polished 3 and finishing up the 4th. I have no idea what to sell hand polished rims for or if I really feel like finishing the 4th. what's a good price to ask with the work involved. Basically, it comes down to, should I bother finishing the last rim, which will take me a few days.

Looks great! Try searching what others have sold their OEM "chrome" wheels for as you'll likely have to price them in that range.

I say finish them!

Not a fan of chrome. Anyway, sell it for 50 each or 200 for 4.

That's a lot of work

Never going to be able to sell 3....so you might as well finish the last one

Hopefully you will find the right buyer to give them a good home

I kinda doubt you will get much more than what the normal price is even though you did all that work, I would say around $450.

Sand off all the paint and clearcoat and then a lot of polishing.
