Default Selling my old rims - how much??

Well, after hitting one too many potholes (damned Hervey Bay roads!) and developing a flat spot in one wheel, i've upgraded to new 17's on my AUII, and am looking to sell off my 3 good old wheels (BA XR 17's) just wondering how much i could sell them for? I don't wanna post an ad anywhere until i've figured out how much to sell 'em for (obviously) :

best to sell 'em seperately or all 3 at once? (still have the 4th wheel, it MAY be fixable, but i couldn't be arsed finding out)

others are all perfect except for one which has some scratching on the outer edge of the wheel.

Id suggest trying to track another one down and sell them as a set of 4, not many people have use for 3 wheels.

Failing that, if you can get 3 seperate buyers.......

Yeah, i was thinking about selling them singly, they come up on ebay every now and then, usually go for aroud 100 - 150 each.

probably seems to be the way to go, I don't care... i just wanna get rid of the bloody things!

Try advertising them on fordxr6turbo.com.
someone might want 2 drag rims and someone might want an alloy spare?

I remember JC saying postage Melbourne-Canberra was about $20 per wheel including registered/insurance, if that helps give you an idea on postage...
