Hey guys, I have a set of (2)-15x7" and (2)-15x8" Rally wheels with 5x5 pattern that I blasted and had powder coated. They have the silver on them and then a clear over top for extra protection. All of them look like new except one of the 7" has some pitting and a small ding on the lip that I wasn't worried about because the trim ring was going to cover that area.. I attached pictures. What should I ask for if I sell them?

$250-300

A few months ago at a swap meet, I bought four decent 15x8 5-on-5 rallys for $125, including center caps and trim rings. I later bought a single (wheel only) for a spare tire for $20. The seller told me he can't get as much for them now as he did 10 years ago!

However, at the same swap meet a guy was asking $300 for a set of 4. Maybe those had new caps and rings. ???

I turned around and sold the four 6.5" van rallys that were on my truck for $110 including caps and rings. Guys like to use them on the front of slammed trucks for clearance.

I've noticed the price of Rallies has dropped as well. Often see them for $100 or more if they have trim rings & caps.

i could be mistaken. but it seems like "unrestored" 6-lug 4x4 rallies are usually closer to $100, but 5-lugs go for more and powdercoating adds quite a bit more cost too.

I missed that they were powder coated. But you have to find a guy willing to pay extra, because proper prep, primer, and a few coats of silver paint works pretty well. I did that to the five wheels I bought.

I just bought a set of 4 15x7 Rallies yesterday for a total of $60 with trash tires but the wheels are in nice shape .

Problem is I have a good bit in them just on the Powder Coating.... I want to get them sold and clear up space in the shop, but I hate to take a beating on them.

Someone on the board recently paid $800 for restored rally wheels. You are going to find prices all over the place, on this thread alone you have $60 as a low and $800 as a high. Price them where you need them priced and see what happens.
