Feeler for 928 S4 Rims

So I landed a full set of Turbo Twist rims, and the two rear wheels need tires. Would anyone be interested in these rims I have on now? As far as I can tell, they are very light and I love the way they look.

to give you an idea of what the market is for these wheels.. I just sold a set of 5 wheels without the tires for $250.00 not including shipping on a VW forum site. Some of the VW crowd like to buy adapters and run these on older vw roccos, rabbits, etc....

I gave $250 for a set of 4, including the wide rears from the S4. They were chromed and also had a set of GY Eagles with 80% tread remaining. Owner wanted 18's instead.

Downsides are that tire choices are dwindling and handling isn't maximized with them, and the style is completely bland compared to todays offerings.

I actually love those, especially without chrome. Nothing is stronger, they are fairly light, and you can get much more ride comfort from them, especially on 928's. But there are so many on the market as giveaways that the value of them is pretty low. Great, great rims, though, in my book. Look nice on the 924, BTW, I'd keep 'em.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'd love to keep them. Because I love the way they look on my 924S, but... I think the Turbo Twist look pretty good on my 924S too. Lol. Yeah I bought them for $300. So That's all I'm expecting. Because I know there are billions of the things. I'll defiantly look into posting them on the VW crowd. Thank guys.

What tire sizes are on the rims now? I have a set of S4 wheels on my 928 now, but was considering running 16x8's all the way around.
