I think my wheels are "Gumby", but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm that they are for me? Sorry about the noobish question, I just need clarification so I know if I should sell them for new wheels or just keep them and powder coat them black.
Thanks,
Nikko
As said, yes they are Gumby wheels. If I were you I would sell those and buy black wheels. Then you can get any style wheel you want, unless you like the Gumby style, then by all means have those powder coated.

I thought they were, but I just wanted to make sure. I planned on selling them for $500, I guess that would have been a major steal. Thank you all!
Is a set of Gumbys worth more than $500? I have them too (chrome) and didn't know they had much value. I don't plan to sell, but it's nice to know.
When I did a quick search, I saw that prices fluctuate. I suppose it's really up to condition, miles, and how much you're willing to spend on the wheels.
Not foolish at all. Gumby was a Claymation character and his legs were shaped exactly like your wheel's vertical supports. His buddy was Pokey I believe, but the poor horse never had the fame of having a Vette wheel named after him.
I bought a set of polished "wagon wheels" for $400 as mine get older I'm looking for another set of polished or chrome, and this is the bench mark price I look for. if you can get $500 for your Gumby's take it.
How many miles on them and what condition are they in? I might be interested if you sell them.
I can't pm you, so my apologies for telling you to check your PM. 23k and rising. Minor curb scratch on the front right wheel. That's their only flaw. I leave for California and I won't be back til the 27th. If I can pm before then, you'll be the first person I notify. If I'm unable to, then take a look at the for sale thread. You'll probably be able to find the listing.

Reason: I lied.

If those are "Gumby" wheels...then the absolute worst looking Gumby wheels look better than the absolute best set of black wheels. Black wheels are for spare tires.
