Default I need an opinion (Totally unrelated to Scions)

I have a 73' 240z that I was going to start fixing and I found these vintage wheels. But they are 13" wheels and I want to go bigger at least 16'. These wheels are immaculate. If I was talking abouts kicks they would considered dead stock. So my question is who much should I sell them for?
Guys and gals give me your thoughts.
Sorry for the big pics.

From the 70's. They are time appropriate for the car.

if not for them being 13'' and the "nissan" cast into the lip, i'd snap em up in a hearbeat, deff an original design for the early 70's, still works today... as for worth, i could not say, but i imagine a lot, in the right circles.

not exactly the same design, but worth looking at, msrp 200 ea brand new,

the nissan wheels are more of a rare collectable item to me, so i would guess they would go for over 200 ea easy..
though not too many people want 13'' rims.... some do don't get me wrong.. i would check on a few nissan forums as well if you haven't yet.. they look like a++ condition

youre prob better off goin to a 240 forum. id just do a lil reserch and find the wheels online maybe from a company or something and sell it for a lil less. but they look great im sure you can get a good price for them. theres a lot of vintage fans out there. if youre to lazy to do a lil research how much are you looking to sell them for? and just post them up on the forum for sale. they look like they might fit the gen 1 xb
