Default F/S American Racing 15X8.5 Vector wheels

I have had these four American Racing Vector aluminum wheels for a while now, but it is time to let them go to a new home. They are for 15 inch tires and are 8-1/2 inches between the tire bead mounting surfaces. They have 3-5/8 inches of back spacing with 1-1/16 inches of negative offset. The 5-bolt pattern is 4-1/2 inches center to center as measured by skipping one bolt hole for the dimension. I had them on our '73 'vette and they clear the brake calipers by about 1/8 of an inch. The clearance from the mounting surface to the back of the ribs is 3/4 of an inch. The ribs have minor damage on the back side where a previous owner mounted them on something and didn't check clearances well. I think these wheels will also fit the S-10 pick-ups and GM intermediates such as Chevelle and Skylark and such. The plastic center caps have a 2-1/4 inch diameter recess where an insert can be glued in. I don't have the lug nuts or any inserts for the caps.

Included is a catalog showing you what type of lug nuts and washers will be needed to mount the wheels.
Price for the set of four is $200.00 plus shipping. They will be in two boxes that are 18X18X24 and weigh between 45 and 50 pounds each. The least costly shipping method I have come up with so far is USPS Parcel Post. If you know of anything better than that, let me know.

Not in the market myself, but old school wheels are just .

Have you checked Forward Air, terminal to terminal? Best deal I was able to find when shipping BBC heads (and fast), beating even Greyhound.

I need to let everyone know that these parts are no longer available here. I am going to try another method to sell them. Thanks to you who have looked at this offering.
