Market for stock wheels?
I picked up a set here in st. louis for $250 for a set of 5 of the split spoke style.. I'd have loved to have gotten them cheaper but those were the only ones I could find locally. I've got some 17" eagle alloy 137s with 285/70/17 that I'm pullin off the truck and going back to oem w/ 35s... The aftermarket rims stick out 1.6" further than stock and I'm trying to get away from that....
Around here a set of 4 used (non chrome) is $200-$250 at most..
I sold my stock rims and tires last month on craigslist.com
I started off asking $1000... Then slowly trickled down to $800 then cash came across the door and I sold them for $750. They were crome wheels and tires and in good shape. That's almost half of what the new wheels and tires cost me, so I'm happy. It took several months to sell, but I wasn't in a hurry.
Winter is a great time to sell them too... Hummer wheels fit most any Chevy and Toyota 6 lug aplications. So advertise them appropiately. The guy who bought mine was putting them on his 1/2ton Chevy Z71.

When choosing new wheels everyone has got to remember that the number that's more important is Backspace, not Offset when looking how far they will stick out vs. OEM.
Backspace is a constant.
Offset varies with wheel width.
-30 offset on a 7.5" wide wheel is not the same as -30 offset on a 8" or 9" wide wheel.
Backspace is important to clear the calipers too.
If you want your tires tucked within the fenders then do your homework on the numbers.
It sounds like byeatts has the right numbers. Maybe he'll share his wheel width, offset and backspace with us for those Fuel's.
