Need help with some Turbine wheels

So here's the story, soon after I moved into my house I discovered a set of 4 wheels, still in the boxes, in the crawl space above the garage. The boxes were really old, still had the shipping labels and seemed to have never been opened. After opening them and searching the internet, I found the following info;

1. They are Gold Turbine wheels made by Western Wheels (aluminum)
2. They are listed as option YJ8 for the '78-'79 camaro Z28 (2nd Gen)
3. Size is 15X7 5X4 3/4 bolt pattern with 2.783 center hole

If anyone has any other info...please shoot it my way. I'm a jeep guy and I am looking to sell these wheels. (Need an est. value) I'll try and upload some pics for reference.

Thanks

P.S. These wheels don't seem to have ever seen rubber or the road. I think the came straight from the line to the box.

those are listed for 150$....

You could prolly get like 3-500$ for them since they are brand new, a real car enthusiast would love those....
