You want to know the value? The issue is that 16.5 tires are getting harder to come by unfortunately. Considering that 16" steelies can be had for $25-30 per wheel, I'd be happy with anything over scrap price. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer or anything, just trying to be honest. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with them.

i appreciate all opinions. i understand demand is low, but so is supply. the 16.5x8.25" versions seem to go for good money. just wondering what value is for the narrower ones.

I would replace them with 16s. The 16.5 are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for them. In my opinion, it's too much of a hassle to keep them. Are they split RIM wheels? If so just scrap them and move on. I planted tomatoes in mine. Good luck
