i been pondering on some fancy summer show rims for some time now, but just not sure where to go, i wanna choose a rim that will not only look nice but hold some value.

i am looking at the following three styles

Borbet a's 7j front 9j back
Borbet b's 7j front 9j back
or a set of 16" hartge's

can anyone guide me on what price i should be looking to pay for clean second hand wheels

thanks in advance
Lee
