What is a set of four wheels worth? They are 6 lug 15x8. Any help is appreciated.
They look like the wheels below.

Just an FYI, I believe they were all 15x7's ??? But correct me if I'm wrong. Cool wheels though.

I had a set of those on a '91 4x4 Suburban (wish I still had it, LOL). Cool looking wheels, always heard them referred to as "Budd Wheels" ? Very similar to semi big rig wheels in style. If not dinged and in nice condition I would say in the $225-$250 range for set of four with decent caps. Just my .02 worth tho. Agree, all I seen were 15 x7, aluminum alloy factory from the General.

Beat up i paid 100 for a set, but they were 5 lug. Restored/professionally polished, and they were super nice, I got 500 for the set

I'd say no less than $400 for the set, but I'd ask $500. That's assuming they are in good shape.

**special-K** · 05-12-2015, 09:19 PM

I'd say $300 in nice shape, more like $200 if minor nicks/flaws, and up to $500 for mint
