Well, not exactly the same, but as a reference -

I picked up a set of used Rally wheels complete, two weeks ago. Paint was cracked, one wheel had corrosion, all four caps had fading in the red emblem, one cap was busted, and all caps had minimal to moderate pot metal blistering.

$144 out the door, 8.75% tax included.

A good set? I would probably say around $200 - but "good" needs to be better defined.

Chris got a pretty good set of tires on those wheels, too!   :D
Around 200-250 should net a decent set in 'driver' condition...
Lots of variables...

Yup, thanks Rob - forgot about the tires, they did have quite a bit of tread on them. Better deal than I stated. My "Monday brain" is at work.

I got a set from the Pick a Part 50% off sale for $8.99 each.  While lacked the center section and rings, they were in decent physical shape. That being no dents and curb scuffs etc..  They also came with a matching set of 175-70-13" tires with about 3/4's of the tread depth left.

Finding all four wheels with matching tires at Pick A Part is like winning the lottery.  It doesn't happen often.  There are aways three nice wheels and the fourth no where to be found.  Or there are all four and one is severely bent or broken.

I got mine from a yard I frequent, which I believe is owned by Pick-A-Part, who own a lot of yards in Washington.

I paid $60 for all of mine with 185/80/R13s on them. Two of the tires were still good, the other two were trashed.

There wasn't any paint left on the wheels, but the beauty rings and semi faded red center caps were all still there. I repainted mine by putting about $50 of spray can automotive wheel paint on them and they are still holding up nicely. It took a few weeks to get them painted nicely, but it was well worth it!
