I know it's hard to find a good set of rims for the 23 inch TT rear wheels but if you were to find a nice pair with the silver still looking good and no rust or damage, what would you expect a fair price would be?

If I needed them to finish a TT project, I'd be willing to spend $100 each. I'm famously tight with a dollar, but for a scarce item I really need I'll spend more than I like. I've paid a heck of a lot less for rims, but those were more common and not urgent.

About 10 years ago I paid $100 for a really nice 23 inch TT rim. It was really nice. Today, I wouldn't be surprised to have to pay $200 for a really nice one, maybe more.
You might find one for less if it has rust pits or needs repairs.

Thanks for your help with this. I was thinking they'd be a little more expensive so this is helpful. I have also paid less for the more common rims at auctions but for the less common stuff I am lost and want to be fair to both buyer and seller. The TT rims from what I understand are a little tougher to find but I believe the 23 inch are not as desirable as the 20 inch. These are really nice and I don't think I will ever see a better pair but someone needs them for a truck that will be on the road soon and I don't know if I will ever use them. I just don't want to give them away but I also don't want to take advantage of the buyer. I think I have a better idea now of what to ask for and it is less than what I was thinking before. This model T hobby should be fun without putting someone in financial trouble over a needed part. The shipping cost is enough to do that already.
