Default Original 8" wheels value question.....

Steel, 15x8s, circa 1972ish. I don't know what the GM codes are on them, and it's too cold in the garage to go out and check right now, but I've owned them for 30 years, and they are perfect. Any idea as to value? I've also got the rings and caps for them but they aren't great.....curb rash on a couple of rings. Thanks.
Happy New years to everyone!

Figure on about $50 a bare Wheel. That being said if the date codes match a more valuable year, ( a Chrome bumper car) then they might be worth up to twice that. If they have exceptional original paint, then they might be worth twice that again. Only problem is that there are people all day long that will buy them at $50 and only a very few that will pay a premium.
