Depends on condition, sold a white pair recently for around 50 quid, they were good for a rider but would have needed resto work to put on a show pony.

If those are rider condition wheels i'd advertise em at £75 expecting to let em go for £60 after a bit of haggling

If you dont want to name a price, stick em on ebay...  :daumenhoch:

As the saying goes... 'Its only worth what someones willing to pay'

Well there very nice condition no cracks, maybe 1 or 2 small scuffs on them, show condition id say. i did swap for a set of mint black tuff II's so i think ill sell these for 100.

Is this a cunningly disguised 'For Sale' thread?

TBH the value would depend not only on the condition of the rims but also the condition and make of spokes and hubs.  If they were plain gauge zinc'd spokes with steel hubs they would not fetch top money in the same way as perhaps a pair with Asahi doubles butted spokes and Suntour/Suzue sealed hubs.  Close up pics would help too  :daumenhoch:.

Depends what the parts are. Some things have dropped in price but then again somethings have risen.

This time last year I was paying £100 for NOS sets of Z-rims with Asahi spokes and Suzue hubs.  Now they seem to be going for £200  ::)

For a decent rider set I would expect to pay around £75 now  :daumenhoch:
