$300 + used drag radials is like $500. You should be able to get that just for your rims. Add your tires to that and i'm guessing your rim/tire package is worth around $800. For the c/c plates go with Maximum Motorsports.

I'd have to disagree with you there. I don't know anyone that would be willing to pay $800 for a set of stock 17" mustang wheels. I only paid about $100 more than that for my 18" DD wheels and tires.

I've seen many sets of stock bullitts and the style in his sig with tires going for $400 or less.

If the drag radials are in good condition and you plan to use them anyways I'd say thats a descent deal. You could get a set of 17s for around $450.

Haven't seen the black rims he's talking about, but the polished 99 cobras in his sig are $169 brand new. If they are in good condition and someone wants them, then he can get $75-$100 for each. Depending on the condition of his tires, i was assuming $75 a tire, the whole package would be at least $600. I've seen many fox bodies and SN95's running the rims in his sig. So if there is interest, he can definitely get $600. Also, aftermarket rims are always cheaper than originals. That is why your 18" bullits weren't much more. 18" chrome DD bullets can be had for $650 - $700, and a decent set of tires would run another $600 - $700.

I realize they are expensive brand new...but everything is expensive if you go through ford. There are many sets of factory wheels out there people are looking to sell. You will find a better deal than $600 is all I'm saying unless the tires are brand new.
