How should I price these rims? (BBS)

So after my wheels had a failed theft attempt, I decided to go back to stocks. Now I have these wheels I need to get rid of but I have no knowledge in how to price them. I was wondering if anyone out there had enough knowledge to do so?

FYI I'm throwing in the tires in the price.

No knowledge, just suggestions. Go to other online ad-sites like ebay and craigslist and check out pricing on similar items so you can have a baseline idea... But it really boils down to how bad you want to get rid of them and/or how much money you want to make from the sale...

Mentioning the specs would be good - weight, offset, condition, kind of tires you have on, etc...

IDK if those are real BBS? I don't recall ever seeing BBS with "universal" lug pattern and they look kinda.... inexpensive.... flat lip with no step is kinda odd too.

I just couldn't find that style anywhere under "BBS" and i've never seen them before, I could be completely off base tho. The more info you can provide SilverBullet the better.

How much did you pay? Were they new or used? Take the price new and half it. Depending on popularity and timing you may ask for more and get that.

Ladylockness:
Previous owner had slight curb rashes. Only two of the tires have decent amount of tread. The other two are completely useless. The brand of the tires are Dcenti (Dcenti Wheel)

Subie:
Im a total noob when it comes to this stuff. This fit is my first car so my specs I don't know. I spent 175 going back to stocks so I would at least want to break even.

Wanderer.:
I also suspect them of being fakes. I looked through old BBS catalogs and didn't find a match.

joey fits:
The wheels we on the car when I bought them so I wouldn't know.

Even if they're fakes (I think they are) you should have no problem breaking even. Throw them on Craigslist for $400, and take the inevitable lowball offer of $250

I currently have them on Craiglist for $300 and I lowball at $250 but still no takers. Someone offered $100 so I just laughed at him.

I agree that they look suspect.

If you look on the inside of the rims there should be markings. If you take photos of the markings we might be able to help more. My BBS rims are marked very clearly with their emblem inside.

My Personal guess Is that they are konigs and or enkeis.

With that Beinn said. 300$ max most people in my town would offer 250. But they dont look like bbs

This is also true. They will be authentic if they are tagged
