What are my wheels worth?

As a relatively new 911 owner, I'm struggling with the value of 911 items. Some parts that I thought would be worth next to nothing turn out to be expensive..and parts I thought might be expensive were relatively cheap. So I'm always feeling quite a bit lost in terms of value. So I'm looking for some advice on value for those who may know better than I.

These wheels are 16 x 6&7 from my 1986 Targa. There is no curb rash or dents on the lips. The centers were repainted with automotive paint and not a spray can. The only blemishes are some nicks (stone chips?) on a couple of places on the back wheels. The fronts are fine. To my eye, the lips look a bit faded...although again..I'm no expert here. There are no dings or dents on the spokes that I can see. OEM centercaps. The wheels will come with nearly new Continental DWs that have only about 4000 highway miles on them...no track days or aggressive driving. The fronts are 205/55 and the rears are 225/50.

I'm looking to sell this as a package deal..wheels and tires. What are they worth? I'd say these are driver quality wheels, and not Concours or garage queen show level wheels. The blemishes can only be seen up close. I have included photos.

Thanks...this newb appreciates it!

Hy.
IMO your pictures are way to tall to realize details.

I'd guess the wheels are worth about $500-600. Tires are probably worth about a third/half new retail?

No...LOL. ~10 months old.

So is $1000 for the package too much? Too little?
