Hi watching an ebay listing for 5 16" Prowler mags. They are listed for $600 start off price. Is this a good price? Thanks

I wouldn't pay anywhere near that amount. That sort of money will get you some nice second hand 17's with decent tyres.

This guy is wanting $600 minimum for crappy looking 16's with 2 crap tyres!

I paid $370 for my 17s - had to replace 2 tyres though ($100 each) so say $600 for the lot. So the same money for 16s is not a bargain. I sold my 15s for $200, and I reckon run of the mill 16s like those would be worth maybe $400 ($500 for the 5). If the tyres are all newish, then $600 the lot would be fine.

NO DEAL haha thats a shocking price for those.

You can get brand new 18s with new tyres for $1200 if you bargain at BJ Tmarts. Twice the price yeh, but about 20 times the wheels.
