I plan on using the white wall tires on the Hurst wheels.The tires are nice... do they come with the wheels and hub caps? Could you bring them to Carlisle in July? If yes, I'd like to make an offer- they'd go great on my '65 Valiant.
I think adapters would push the wheels out too far and they would look wrong.I love those Hurst mags, also love that sweet fish....but I would have a hard time swapping the SBP for BBP just to run them, have you thought about using adapters?
I would value your rims, at $200, covers at $250, and $100 for the lug nuts (if they are the factory correct long ones).
The wheel covers need to be repainted....the silver paint is thin and the black paint is missing, the plastic center logo looks faded. But they look super nice but not mint. Those lug nuts don't look correct so they are not worth as much if that's the case. Good luck and post pics with those mags on it.....gonna look cool :glasses7:
I was gonna say that!worthless... sell them to me ;)

the wheels covers are VERY VERY NICE and they really do not need to be painted.
no fading on the logo, maybe the picture.
lug nuts are correct.
Keep them in case you ever want to sell the car. Collectors will only pay top dollar for perfect, original cars. Keep all the original parts with the car. Once they are gone, your car becomes a dime-a-dozen.
Any complete, original 50 year old car is VERY RARE to find, you will be foolish to mess that up.
Wife here LOVES cars we have many of them.i say add on to the gargage to make room for the original wheels and then tell the wife NOW there is room for another Mopar!!!!!LOL ( you can tell i have experience with Mopars and X wives!!????)
I did not know that the covers should have black on them...Can you tell me more details? where should the black be? only on the insides of the area or all of the area?Lug nuts look to have a flat face on them, the original ones have more of a "point", covers should have flat black paint in the fins or "louvers" area. You are right about the adapters, probably stick out farther.

anyone with pictures?
Cliff, thanks for posting the picture.Here is a pic... Hub Cap 65 with black in the ribbed area and also an outer line that circles...
Note: I had to wet the black areas so they would show up... They are really Flat Black...
And... on the Lug Nuts... They do have a point... The shorter one would be for the 4.5 wide rims and the longer Nut would be for the 5.5 wide rims that came on the Formula "S" cars...
Yeah, the silver paint got wore off on that hub cap... I guess I did not notice you had no point on your lug nuts at the time... My eyes aint that great... Sorry
Clif...that Barracuda looks a bunch like yours, no???
