Are they black wall or white wall tires?
I think posting pictures would help get a better idea of the price you could ask.
 
I would say you should charge $100 a piece, more or less considering condition vs new.
 
There black wall tires ris are green apple i believe that’s the color they called them. Yeah i tried posting pics on here ain’t smart enough i guess.
 
You say you have "those little shim things" which to me indicates you have the washers used under the lug nuts when the openings in the wheels are wallowed out. This makes the wheels low buck value if that is the reason the washers were used. I hope that is not the case, but it is a red flag.
 
Wheel nuts get loose and wollows out the holes. Then the taper on the nut goes through the hole and bottoms out on the drum without applying force to the wheel. Washer helps but does not self center as well.
 
I've taken to using the lug washers on all A's.They really help as far as chipping paint,and if you have a bad hole or it makes your wheels usable.I picked up five powdercoated wheels years ago,the guy had bought them at flea markets and had them done.He didn't know what he was looking at and actually bought five smooth,pit free wheels with bad lug holes.He was kind of heartbroken,with what he spent on them,but I put them on a car and they've been on the road for more than 20 years.The owner of the car knows all about them,he says they ain't bothered yet.
 
That's a GREAT DEAL for someone who needs them & He's out there somewhere & would pay you a fair price, for them!

I was talking to some of the a guys at the local car show and they said they use the washers so you don’t get the wallowing i looked at there cars and they all had them on.

I would agree with eagle, $100-$150. Figure that the Firestones are about $150 new, hub caps are $10, rims maybe $30-50? (could be way off on the rims). You are roughly at $200 a piece, minus the wear and what someone is willing to pay so $100-$150 sounds reasonable to me.

A couple of years ago I paid $600 for a brand new set of white walls mounted on good straight rims. Figured I would have had to pay $200-$300 more from a supplier just for the tires, plus I got some good rims.
