Virgo rims, how much are they worth? 200

I've got a set of Virgo rims that I'm thinking of selling and am wondering how much they are worth?
In excellent condition, with center caps. A little curb rash on two of them but nothing severe. Two of the tires are a year old, the other two are two years old.
I know the local Volvo junkyard asks $100 each.
Just wondering.
They're located in Indianapolis if anyone is interesed.
Andrew

    Virgo rims, how much are they worth? 200

    HOLY UNDERWEAR BATMAN!!! $100 bucks each at a local junk yard!!! Man, I bought my 79 264GL for $200 (came with nice looking Corona's) and my 85 245DL for $500 so you know I would not give up $400 dollars for rims when I can just can get an entire car. By the way the 84 245DL came with 5 good looking Virgo's (spare in back). I would never by junkyard rims for $100 a pop. The junkyards I go to sell them for $20 if they are very used and $40 tops if they are good-excellent. Also if you buy all four they usually give them to you for about $100 for the entire set. I guess they just do not see a reason to have them lying around. I live in sunny & dry Southern CA and here the Volvo's & Virgo rims are plentiful and still in good shape (NO RUST). Unless the rims were just bead-blasted, powder coated, and clear glossed I would not fork over the $100 a pop for them. Take Care!

      Ummm ... I'm not so sure about being "plentiful". The only ones I seem to ever run across in the yards are really trashed ones. I'm talking about curb rash all the way around and several bends.

      I see it as moreso an age thing ... after so many years on the road, poor road conditions and drivers who are less caring take its toll.

    Actually, I would be interested, as I've decided a set of Virgos are to be my next acquisition, but I'm in PA, and I imagine the shipping would be obscenely expensive.

    Guessing (because I have not seen them) $200-250. If you mount them and spin them you can see if they run perfectly true. A pefect set with fine paint, no rash, might bring $400-500 with perfect caps and lugnuts. But you have to be able to assess straightness to get that. Straight rims are in the minority these days.

    Check E-bay and this will give you some indication of their worth. I have seen them for $50.00 each with center caps and light damage (much like the ones you have).....Look not at what sellers are asking, but what they are SOLD for...Hope this helps
