Default Fair price for Virgo wheels

What is the going market rate for a set of Virgo wheels? Fair condition. I'm thinking of looking for a set. Currently have the stock 14 inch steel rims on a 90 240. Also if one rim is bent should I purchase and keep looking for a fourth or just move on. I'm not sure how often they are available on the market at a reasonable price.

I got my set of 4 straight Hydra wheels with minimal curb rash for $200 from a local 740/940 enthusiast via craiglist 2 years ago.

I got a set at my local bone yard for $100. There was 1 that has a slight bend but we managed to get them all balanced out .

Got lucky and picked up five wheels for $100. One slightly bent. Going to clean them up and paint or powder coat them - Silver or Black w/ Silver.

Wirth Silber wheel paint is the 'correct' paint for these, with a clear coat.

*very* durable stuff when properly applied. it can be even be done via rattle can with proper prep and get excellent results.
