alloy rim, what are they worth to you?

[Olivier]

Saw those today, the paint is flaking, the inside show some corrosion/ paint bulging, like alloy is corroded a bit. Some balance weights are tagged to the rim, some weight where stick inside and removed/ lost ( there was the sticker mark )
Now, I know the price would be what is someone would like to pay for those, this is why this post.
What do you think those are worth?
I don't like the way someone already bid on those, its a wee "odd" to bid so soon, but hey,. why not.
I am still looking for winter tyres, this is why. I would prefer steel wheels tho.
Anyway, here are the rim. Any input are greatly appreciated.

eBay UK Item Bid History

Just realised I put the bid history link, not the actuall item....
here we go then:
Mercedes 17" Alloy Wheels | eBay

 

[GP801]

Not much detail re part number, offset etc. Would they even fit your car? Personally around £120 max. Likely to need a refurb but hard to tell from the pictures.

I'm 99% sure they are 16". The seller has probably used a tape measure and figured 17".

Just picked up a set of alloys for the probe... original 24v swirlies (not that it'll mean much... suffice to say, they're very rare)

Paid £80 including 1 brand new tyre and 3 part worns... they don't need a refurb yet, but they do need balancing... so really, it's down to how much you're willing to spend.

I found that buying alloys on ebay tends to be a LOT more expensive than finding people on forums who are getting rid of their alloys because they bought new ones...

I just send a PM to spike... might still have them?
Thank you for the replies.
Indeed they were 16", came out a W210 apparently, but they needed refurb from what I could see. I saw better rim then those at MB and they were throwing them away as a precaution.
Happy Friday.

Olivier; why not ring round a few scrap yards for later 90s/early 2000's W210 or compatible 16" steels?

 

[Olivier]

I checked 2 and couldn't find any. I am also told that 16" steel wheels are not that common

Standard fit on all facelift 210 Avantgardes, and most early 208.

Not all that rare.

Thank you Nick.
