Default I need to sell some TRD wheels - help!

I need a bit of help. I have a customer that bought an xB from me a few months back. The car had the 18" TRD wheels and Pirelli tires on it. Well within a month, the guy's wife had damaged them pretty well. The tires only have 2500 miles on them, but the rims... well, three of them have minor curb scrapes on them, but the other is slightly bent. Its not horrible, but enough to see. The tire is not flat so I suppose its still functional.

This customer has run into some serious medical problems and I told him I would try to sell the seet for him and forward the money to him. My question is, what are they worth and how would I best go about selling them? I really don't want to ship these things. Anybody here want a set of TRD wheels and tires for pickup in Springfield?

the rims, honestly are worthless with damage like that...take the cost of the tires, and add like $300 to that for the rim cost....if no one around your area wants them, best bet is ebay, honestly.....you'll get something for them at least

Hmmm... So would $600 be about right? The guy just told me to get what I could for them. If somebody wants them, $600 will take it. I'll get pics tomorrow if I can remember to bring my camera to work.

my friends family owns a wheel shop. They usually charge 80-100 bucks to fix each wheel and they can fix some pretty crazy stuff. But again, the cost of fixing them isnt going to be worth it since TRD 18s are just knockoff of GT5s that can be had for about 900 bucks new with tires.
