Worth less than Perfos because they are narrower

Perfos are great wheels as they are sturdy and sporty. They are fairly common and not As desirable as the 17" stock Volvo rims. $150 is a reasonable price for clean,straight rims with minor curbing. If the tires are good then you can sell locally. If they are excellent and name brand Continentals, Michelin etc then that adds to the mix. Shipping is expensive so if the tires are so so then remove And sell just the rims. I've shipped rims two to a box via usps. I've also used greyhound successfully. Look up how to ship rims and you'll see a lot of info. GLWS!

Columbas are 6-1/2 wide, Perfos are 7"
205/55/16s (the preferred size tire) bulge out on Columbas big time

Aren't Columbas stupid heavy, as well?

I've been happy enough on my Cetus rims. Cushy ride means more than brains-through-the-ears cornering.
