What are these 15" Bundts worth?

I have a set of 15" ATS Bundt wheels. I am wondering what they are worth?

IDK ... there was a guy selling a set of 4 NOS, new in box with new lug nuts with asking price of $900 off NJ CL. Not sure what they sold for.

I picked up a set from the JY for $65 bucks a few years ago and sold them for $400.00 local sale.

doubt you will be able to retire , but they are getting harder to find in GOOD shape , Id say 50-100$ each depending on how badly someone needs them

Going by what most self service wrecking yards charge for an alloy wheel nowadays, $50 each would be a steal, and I would buy every 15" Bundt I could at that price...... Rich

Ebay is dbl what a reg. person would buy a set for ,you can set a mark for a set shipped and plenty of pictures once cleaned with upclose pics of any flaws.$800 .You will get this if you do the extra work.Maybe painting since that general shows youve taken the time and effort to provide it as quality.

15" bundts are great for people looking to do period correct and oem-looking upgrades. The specs on the 560sl pie-pan wheels are essentially the same, but they are totally wrong for a late 60's-1985 car. 15" steelies and hubcaps for the "grosser" are pretty impossible to find, while there were several makers of the 15" bundts. Plus the 15" steelies would certainly weigh a lot more. So...

Knowing your market is the key IMO. Pagoda, w116, r/c107, 600, maybe w114/115, w123, w108/109, maybe w111/112 owners could all be interested buyers.

Being a "buy low, sell high" kind of guy, I would probably buy at $400 or less and sell only above $800+. But I might end up holding a $400 investment in those wheels for several years, maybe even pay dearly to have them refurbed like new at my local wheel shop. And then at that point I'd probably have over $1000 into them and make not a single penny. That's just how it goes for me with wheels.

The problem I see with refinishing them, is that I would be doing it for myself (type of finish and color), and that may not be the way a potential buyer would want them. If I keep them, I will refinish them. If I sell them, I will leave them the way they are. That way they are like a "blank canvas" for someone else to work with, and they will not have to do over what I have done. I like the fact that I would have a broader tire size choice, should I keep them for my W126. If I need the money, I will sell them as is......Rich

There's only two ways to refinish these wheels IMO.
- all astral silver
- astral silver with a machines or polished lip.
