They are only worth what the next person will buy them for. What are you willing to take is the real question. Always try OBO also. Good luck!

So lets say, for ease of understanding, the tires alone are 1,000 new. You would pay $990 for them knowing you could get a BRAND NEW set for $10 more and they have never been installed previously???? Same for rims??? I got some rims and tires to sell you!
In realistic expectations....80% value. They are NOT NEW and no warranty to the next buyer.

actually, they're not worth much at all.
your new tires are called "take-offs". as they are factory new-car tires, they're not the best in the world, actually they're not very good at all compared to aftermarket, high-mileage tires. a lot of people will shop around for take-offs, and expect to pay about 50% of new tire price. if its a common tire size, you can probably sell these fairly easily on craigslist. you might get $200-250 for them.
the wheels are a different story. the only people that will want to buy them are a) someone with a similar vehicle and one or two damaged wheels that need replacement. or b) someone looking to replace their 15 or 16 or 17 inch wheels with 20's cause they think its cool, AND because you sell them a lot cheaper than they might buy aftermarket wheels. put them on craigslist and hope for the best. i might be too pessimistic but i don't think they'll bring more than $200 for all four, in spite of costing $200 or more each brand new.

To a tire place... discount tire, etc... they will only give you about $35 per tire because they are used and can only be sold as used even if you drove straight from the dealer to discount tire. Which is why ppl go to ebay to try and get more money for them. But who would spend 80% of worth price for these tires when they can buy a better brand or tread design???
