what do you think my s-lites are worth?

stock 17" s-lites, painted black, few chips, not becuase of rocks or anything, but becuase of when they put the tires on, and the few TINY chips have from that point on out, expanded. i need to touch it up and try and like seal the edge thats chipped so it stops expanding.

anyways, they are on some Nitto NeoGen 215/45/17s, one of which has a screw in it. no leaking for about a week since i noticed it, and i dont want to patch it if its not leaking, becuase taking it off will most likely scratch the rim.

tread is pretty new, these tires are like 2000 miles old at max.

anyways, heres pics of the chips.

1st wheel has no chips

2nd wheel has a small chip by the center cap. i can touch it up, or you can, doesnt matter to me.

pic of that rim:


3rd wheel has a tiny chip on the edge
pic:


4th rim is the worst....
2 chips




the screw:

By the way, either you or the eventual buyer should remove the screw and plug/patch it if it leaks. It may not leak, if it is short enough.

If the screw is long enough to have punctured the tire all the way through, then it WILL leak eventually. It might take some time, but eventually the screw will rust away and leave a leak path.
