Honestly no clue what they might be worth, but pretty sure I could find 2 that were in decent shape.

im all set, thank you though. I ended up buying some used American racing wheels

I started stripping it to fix the rust and repaint, and found a damn near brand new engine. Then got busy that winter.... and its been about 11-12 years? The longer it sat, the more stuff got piled on it. Figure its not worth the time and energy anymore, while it was a blast to drive, I might want something more modern and safer with the 9 month old.

My wife has an '05 Jetta Wagon, not sure what the hell she does, but it gets crap mileage and burns oil. Replaced the turbo 2 winters ago when she blew it on the way to work. Luckily only the exhaust side went and nothing got sucked into the engine....

Back on topic, I might still dig out the hubcaps and see if anyone else is interested, need to purge a bunch of crap I'll never use anyways.
