Question Would you?

I came across an ad on a local classifieds site and someone is wanting to trade a set of used Eibach Sportlines for a set of OEM rims. I've got a set of rims in fair condition that he's willing to accept. Is this a fair trade? Just looking for some input before I "give" anything away.

Here's a picture of the rims.

Meh rims might be worth more but I doubt you'll have a chance to get rid of them elsewhere

Your rims are probably worth more. Too bad I cannot see the picture.

Rims retail value might be more but street value is probably close to nothing, if springs are new then go for it, my LS sits nice on sportlines. If they're used then it's hard to tell in what condition they are but about 3 years on sportlines for me and no issues, I believe they have a lifetime warranty anyway

this^ retail those rims are worth more, but I doubt you'd get more than a bag of chips for them on the street, I bought used sportlines a year and a half ago and I've had no issues

I believe they're Monroe Sensa-Trac Struts, I just recently put them on.
