Anonymous OP Unregistered A	Thanks for the tips, I am certain now mine are originals. I have them up for sale and got an e-mail from someone that said they look like repops, and if they were truly originals they would be worth 10 times my asking price. I wanted to be sure I wasn't representing something wrong, as far as 10 times my 200 asking price I am sure that's false as well. Is 200 fair, to high, to low? Thanks for the help.

If the center portion is 'lumpy' from dent/ding damage and/or the outer edge that snaps onto a wheel is damaged, maybe not $200 a set of 4. However if they are nice w/minimal repairs needed $200 is a fair price.
