Sell wheels/tires or not?

minkus316 · 07-31-2012, 01:12 PM

I have the original wheels for my '75 with tires that are about 90% and 50% (guess which were on the back?). My wife thinks that I should keep them, but I'm pretty sure that they will never go back on the car given the Centerlines on there now. Any thoughts about if/why I should consider keeping them? How much should I ask for the 4 if I sell them?

Depends on what rims you have. I saw some stock wheels go for about 150.00 each in Minnesota with beauty rings and center caps, the tires were shot. Call around if you plan on selling and see what they are going for.

Keep, If you ever sell your car it will help with the sale having the original wheels

Thanks for the thoughts. They are the steel wheels with beauty rings and center caps.

I'd take the money right now. Saves storage space,
moving the old wheels and tires when they're in the
way. And when you sell you can remember the $500
already in your bank account.

I made a tire rack for 0$ usingn scrap metal for my extra wheels and my space is limited

They are more of a space waster for me right now... would be nice to get $600 ($150 per wheel/tire). I think that I'll put them out there for that on Craig's list.
