Alloys
How much do you think these wheels are worth? They are 15x8.5, alloys, they will go with the studs back in and 31-10.5-15 BFG All Terrains( about 30% tread) I sandblasted them and began to wet sand them and polished a small portion of a couple.
I dont have the time to finish them so I just want to know what they are worth as-is, with the studs in and the tires mounted of course.

I used a steel dowel that was just a little smaller than the studs, and tapped them out from the back with a hammer.

They were badly pitted in some spots, and to get off the clear crap the laquer didnt take off. It worked out well, just a pain to sand em. They were machined rims and I was making them look polished. I wet sanded 2 of em with like 600 grit, then 1000 grit, then hand polished a small portion with microfinishing compound. That spot looked really good, like chrome. Tried using a buffer, that just made the sand paper scratches shine. I started this project like 9 months ago before I was workin 8+ hrs a day, now I dont have the time for them. Now Id rather spend $86 a piece for new ones....
