Question on Ansen Wheels (pics)
I have these Ansen Sprint Wheels that I use to have on my car. My wife is having a yard sale tomorrow and I am thinking about putting these in the sale. I spent time on one of them about a year ago and got it in pretty good condition. My question is, should I spend time on the others or sell them at a lower cost and let the buyer shine them up. What would you think they are worth in this condition and what worth if I shined them up. It took quite a while on the one that is done. There is no way I could have them done for the sale.
I also have a set of wheels off of my old 85. What do you think they would be worth?

I honestly don't think you'll get much for them at a yard sale. Ebay would be a much better choice. As for shining them up, you'll probably get more for them, but not enought to make it worth your time. Put them up as is. No idea what the '84 wheels are worth. /:\

Don't think you could give away the 85's...may get more for them at a scrap yard for the aluminum. But there are those purists that would want them on their car. I think you could ask $100 and see where it takes you.
As far as the ansen's, I have them on my '71 and I love them. Not sure on the value though...good luck!

Make me an offer!

Did they fit in the wheel-wells of your vette or did they hang out some?
Thank you for those measurements.

My 8-1/2" ansens did not stick out in the front, but the 10" rear wheels did stick out about 1-1/4 inch. I had air shocks so the fender would not come down on the tire. It would be best to have flares.

I guess it is actually finding the time to work on them. I am in the process of residing my garage right now It is also how sore it made my fingers with all that rubbing. lol I did use some mothers on the one and you are right that it does work well!
