Default Need help deciding asking price for wheels

When I got my SC300 last August it came with aftermarket wheels that don't quite suit the personality of the car. I have a bit of extra cash from Christmas and I'm looking to purchase a new set of wheels.

Some details: wheels are 17x7 by ICW (and after some research I discovered it's a subpar brand). All four wheels have curb rashes and rock chips from being driven in the city and highway for 10+ years. BUT, they come with Kumho Ecsta tires installed three months ago, and I've put less than 2,000 miles since then; they ran me $625. They are mounted and balanced.

I'm thinking of asking for $250, but I want your opinions too! I would like a quick sale but would definitely like to receive the most I can so I have a bigger budget for the coming set of wheels.

I think you should sell them for tire price + 50bux.

Yeah, they're 17", so I bet you could get somebody to give you 4-500 for them (with tires).
