A question about wheels

I recently purchased a used 2007 Cooper S. The previous owner has offered to sell me the mounted snows and also a set of JCW 18" Star Spoke wheels as well. I am not particularly interested in the 18s but the price is right. They are a little rough with 6" to 10" sections of curb rash on each and there are Dunlops with minimal tread on 2 and a little more on the other 2. My question to the wheel experts among you is what do you think I could reasonably expect to get for the JCWs on ebay or this sites Marketplace? Thanks for your help.

why not look at the marketplace here and see what prices wheels and tires are going for.

18" wheels with curb rash have little value. Someone who wants to go to larger wheels is doing it for the looks and curb rash is not part of the look. Unless they're repairable and you plan to have the repairs done I would stay away.

Obviously the tires are worth nothing at all.
