Those things scream 80s. A mechanic friend of mine loves them. I personally don't care for them. I'll show him your post. He has picked up a few sets at the Hershey swap meet for cheap. Not in as good shape as these though. Last time, he bought a set for $400.

Tops 200. Beat, rashed, and ugly.

If they were RSs, much more $ since you could rebuild the lips. Even Porsche RSs do not carry the value as other bolt patterns though.

Pillow thanks, what markings do the rs ones have? Learning for future reference

Good candidates for restoration but pretty beat, agreed on $200-$300

Here is a quick link to "redone" RSs. The BBS RSs are a three piece wheel which was a popular upgrade in the 80s. Now they are more of a show car piece. In stock form they really are not that nice compared to clean Fuchs IMO.

As-is RSs for Porsche anywhere from 400-800 set. "Redone" varies dramatically as to what you put into them. 24ct bolts, low profile caps, etc... "Redone" RSs just do not seem that popular with the Porsche crowd.
