Just wondering.

How much are 635CSI TRX wheels worth?

Are they more expensive/desireable compared to the wheels that have the
cross spokes and nuts?

Nobody wants TRX wheels because tires are expensive and of outdated design.
Many switch to new wheels in order to use regular size tires

You'd be hard pressed to give them away especially the 14"
ones. You MIGHT get money for the 15" IF they have good tires;
the tires are bloody expensive and the whole setup is not
superior to modern tires which have all adopted he trx
ideas anyway. So, they're really only good is you want
to present an authentically original car.

No, the rims are worth about $8 on ebay. The tires aint cheap new
though.

It's been said that they're overpriced at free.

I suspect that's an exaggeration, but not a huge one.  I drove a E28 535i
with and without TRX, good lord what a difference it made when he got those
things off.

Not a lot!

Honestly they are great but expensive for tyres (tires) like 200% more than inch sizes.
Most people bought new wheels and tyres for 1/2 the price of TRX tyres alone.

If some mug will buy them then that's what they are worth -- $10 eash for scrap or novelty
value

Make a coffee table from them.

Oh yeah, that will go well with my wagon-wheel coffee table with a
glass top and bar stools.....

They make a good hose reel I'm told.

TRX tires are very expensive. Most people have moved away from them, making
the rims all but worthless.
