Ok i was driving home from picking up my DD from transmission shop and saw some nice looking ims forsale. I stopped by shop and asked how much he said $200 cash for them. They had pretty much brand new tires on them just 2 had inner walls worn down to wire. They didnt have much curb rash at all, and were Motegi Racing 17in not sure of the name though. They looked similar to these but was 5 spoke design. (These are O.Z. Ultralegara). They had the multi 5 spoke bolt patter so can fit on my GST.

The only person who can really judge what a set of rims are worth are the person who is going to put them on their car.

I spent $600 on my rims & tires, and their not even "real". Do I care? No, because I LOVE them. I love the clean 5 spoke look for my car, love the style it gives off, etc. But I've come across some people that would not have spent that kind of money on a fake set of wheels, but justify it because the tires it came with weren't cheap.

All up to you on what you think some rims are worth. $200 for some aftermarket rims in decent condition aren't bad in my opinion.
 
Also have the installer show you the rims are not bent when they are on the balance machine. A straight edge next to a hand-spun wheel will show if it is bent (laterally). As said above check the offset.

$200 for usable wheels and tires that look good is a pretty good find. You can look on ebay for a matched set of tires with low mileage (replace the junk ones) .
