you can buy them new for 145/each... so adjust accordingly for their condition and how long you've used them for... provide pics for the set, i wouldn't expect more than 400 tops though...

Maybe at a place that sells used rims but even then you will get less for them because they will still need to make some money reselling them.

Some tire & wheel places do allow trade, but they do not give good trade. When my husband got his new wheels ( F150 ) the place we went only offered him 150 for the set of four. We sold them ourselves for 350. Ask the wheel place, all they can do is say no.

Nothing wrong with 16's. I just put them on mine and love them.

Pluses for 16's:

1) Tires are less expensive than 17's and up
2) You can actually get decent all-season 16" tires without going broke
3) Better handling/cornering without sacrificing much- if any- ride-quality
4) LS/LT braking and suspension are set-up for 16's (they are a factory option), so no need to worry about 'over-stressing' your brakes/suspension.

It's a matter of personal preference, though. Just stating my opinions.

16's will look good one, I like the AutoX look they give a car.

Yea dont expect much fomr a pair of 15s man. Just keep ahold of them and try to sell the tires alone.
