It all depends on the market and the condition of the wheels.  Consider that

well used Panasports (which are more desireable) can be had for $300-400.  A

used set of Minilites can easily fetch $800.  I sold a set of very 
lightweight (11-12 lbs ea) 10 spoke period American racing wheels to a list 
member for $200 (he shall remain nameless unless he wants to come forward 
:-).

For your Westerns, I'd say $250, give or take $75, should be fair if they 
are in decent shape.   If you are buying them, offer $100.  If you are 
selling them, ask for $400.  State that your are willing to negotiate either

way.  If bent or out of round, this means a big discount.  Curb scrapes 
matter to some folks while others could care less.  Ultimately they are only

worth what someone is willing to pay.  :-)

Hope that helps.
Chris
