Post Help with wheels

I had a couple of questions. First, I have an '01 GT. I'm getting new rims, so I don't need the old ones. Does anyone know what a good price for the stock GT rims are? I'm not trying to sell them here, I just want to know a decent price without ripping myself off by selling them too cheap.

Second, I was thinking of staggering the new wheels by getting 18x9's on the front, and 18x10's on the back. I'm also getting new performance tires put on it. I spoke to the guy about the tires, and he said that the only problem with that is I won't be able to rotate them, so I won't get nearly as much mileage on them than if I had all the same size. Is it worth it to get the staggered look and sacrifice mileage on the tires, or should I just get all the same size wheels?

300-350 Is a fair price for your wheels if the tires are good. If their stock bullitts, with good tires, I see them for sale all the time for 400-500. And if your worried about money, get the same size all around, but if not, get the staggered look goin on, you'll love it.

I think you should go with the staggered look. Like badlx87 said, you'll love it. As far as the rims being sold, I would say in the ball park from 250-400 depending on how they look. (Discoloration, chipped, etc.) It all depends on how they look.
