Prices recommendations needed

I have a nice set of Fuchs with brand new tires. They came off a 1977 911. I want to sell them but I'm not sure how much to ask. I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Those are 16 x 6" and 16 x 7"s, which did not come on a 1977 originally. Likely came from a 911SC, ('78-83), or more likely a Carrera ('84-89). There will be a 3 or 4 digit production date stamped in the back near the center bore. (month/year) They appear to have been polished.
I am hoping that they have been polished, not plated. Chrome plating (which eventually lifts/peels), destroys the value, in my humble opinion. Please post pic's of the date stamps and we can better tell the value.

How do can I tell if they are plated or polished. I initially thought they were polished but I am no expert.

Looks like March of '83 production. Late SC, possibly early Carrera. I can't tell polish from plating in a photo. Chrome plating is harder than polished aluminum, but no one wants to do a "scratch test". Do you have an independent local Porsche shop? Someone there could likely tell the difference.

IF they are polished, I think the wheels & tires are are worth $1300 +/- 50

The first two digits of the date is the week so 0383 is third week of January 1983 3383 is 33rd week of 1983. Don't make me figure out which it is
