One million dollars ( doing my best Dr. evil impression with my pinky near my mouth).lol

I have a set myself with tires that I need to unload. Yours look nice.

Seriously though, I have no idea. I would take whatever you can get..... Maybe $20- 25 each?
 
I regularly get $25 a piece for decent units that need to be cleaned up and painted! Yours are nice, but unfortunately they would also need to be repainted, unless someone is looking for that color! $100 a set is a pretty easy sell!! Geof
 
Really that's all for the 5.5 wide rims? For that I'll keep them.

Easy to change colors. The were blasted before painting so it's a scuff and shoot new color. :)
 
All 14" wheel prices have dropped in my area since the 14" tire selection sucks now. There recently was a set of 5 sbp 5.5 steelies on CL for $150 and they were on there for well over a month. A couple years ago they would have been lucky to lasted 8 hours.
 
The only time ill ask $200 for a set is if I don't want to sell them, or if I already blasted and painted them the correct gloss black, then if they sell ill buy 2 more sets for what they're really worth!! If I have to do any work on them at all, my buying price goes down, and if i don't do any work on a set, I will always ask $100 or less, depending on how much work they need!

Currently sitting on 2 sets, and each of my A bodies are all wearing them!!
 
Gloss black is only correct for full wheel covers. Dog dish cars got body cor wheels.

Screw it. One day I'll list them for 200. If they don't bring that the. It's not worth me selling. They will go on a shelf. :)
 
I've found that no matter the part, the price can vary somewhat due to location, although I think I shipped mine clear across the country.
Everything is scarce around here due to the scrappers grabbing everything they can.

Fact is that not many people are running 14" tires, and ever fewer guys are running the small bolt circle! I'm probably one of the dying breed that still runs these with any regularity! I've had and sold probably 10 sets in the past 2 years, never more than $100! That's just the right price that sells them around here!

I paint them gloss black to maximize the possibility that they will sell to a wider audience! If a guy is looking for a set, but they are body color, that immedietly means that painting them is required, whereas I think that someone is more apt to run a black rim, and end up buying them! Then painting becomes optional! Geof
 
i figured that someone doing a resto may be interested i them. not just anyone because like ya said most of us get rid of the crappy small bolt and 14" wheels. but for a guy doing a resto i can't see these things getting any easier to find. especially the wider ones like these.

no big deal like i said.. they are easy to store with no tires so they will go on a shelf and sit there. who knows maybe i'll get another small bolt a-body down the road that i'll use these on until i do a big bolt conversion..:)
 
I would hold out for at least $200.
Someone restoring a 340 car would love to have them.

thats what i'll do. anything less isn't worth letting them go for... its funny.. here and on moparts where i also asked i get a ton saying they are only worth about $25 each. then a few others say they are getting $50 each with no problem.. guess its all about the location and finding that guy that needs them.. apparently these are date coded for a 68..

Hey Geoff, I'm interested in a set of four... PM coming your way
 
It depends on location. Down here they would struggle to get $100. A set of SBP rally's with good tires may bring $150 to $200 and that is with the correct rings and caps. Good luck with the sale..
 
What's the date codes by the valves? All 4 the same? Were these balanced and run on a car....as far as are the good or bent being hard to balance?

i'll have to check the date codes. someone on moparts say they were 68 coded by the pics i posted above. not sure if that helps or not..

yes they were run on a car.. thats the rims on the car in my sig pic. didn't look to take much weight on them. they were only balanced on the rear of the rim.
 
Nothing from a no-good swindler like you,they probably got flat spots or won't hold air...



Just kidding bro! Miss chatting with the Jersey crowd.

New car?
