Thread: Value? 18" Bonneville Rims

Hey all,

A buddy of mine has a set of 4 rims he isn't using. I little bit of oxidation but otherwise in great condition. I guess they were factory Bonneville rims, but, I'm not really sure. Photo:

I thought he told me they measured 18" in diameter. He must have been mistaken. I'll check next time I'm over at his place.

Still, any thoughts on what they might be worth?

Sure enough, you guys are right:

^^ What they said. It is indeed off a Bonneville, and they are 17s. The only stock 18s on a Bonneville were the GXP wheels.

As to value, unfortunately, they are not one of the more desirable wheels, so they won't be worth much. Someone may pick them up for winter beaters, or a cheap upgrade in size/style for a GM that came with even less desirable wheels. If he could get $200-$250 for the set, I'd take it and run.

Thanks for the input. Perhaps I'll buy them myself. I have the 16" crosslace rims, so these would allow for a brake size upgrade. I wasn't keen on touching them before because I believed they were 18", and didn't want a rim that big.

The most desirable bonneville wheels are the 18" gxp wheels.

But if you are a bonneville guy those are the second most desirable wheel. If the chrome is in good condition. Chrome starts peeling in center cap area and spreads out. You can not find good ones for less than a $125 each.

FWIW you want 18" rims. I'm running 18" Lucerne Super (V8) rims. They look great etc on the Regal. Because I kept the outer diameter the same, it's minty fresh.
