Default Need help selling corvette rims

Hello,


I recently bought Corvette Rally rims for my 1974 Corvette. I am looking to sell the rims that came with my corvette but don't know what price to sell them at. I cannot find anything online that help. Does anyone have a good suggestion? here are some pics of them

I believe your wheels are an old version of the American Racing Vectors.

Old wheels typically aren't worth a whole lot. Old tires (over 8 years old) are worthless.

Yes those are the old American Racing Vectors, hard to find today.
They look to be in good condition, just missing the center caps.

Lots of Old School guys like them.

I just bought a set of these wheels at Carlisle for $200.00. The tires on them were junk. I'll have to say your wheels are in better shape than the wheels I bought. I see people around here asking/selling Vectors or Vector clones for $350.00 to $400.00.

I agree, they look a lot like American Vectors. These were very popular in the late 70's and made even more popular when Car Craft magazine used them on a mid 70's project car called the Big Banana...





Good luck... GUSTO

usually old alum. rims only go for around scrap value. If you got $100 I think you'd be doing alright. I have tried selling Shelby 500 slot mags, and various other 70's rims and they are a pretty tough sell...everyone upgrades to larger rims or goes back to stock. I don't see much of a market around my area for them (and junkyards are full of them).
