Help with value - early SSII/SSIII wheels & tires

My dad had a set of (5) 14" SSII/SSIII wheels powdercoated gray for his '67 442, then found out they wouldn't clear the disc brakes he installed. They are complete with trim rings, center caps, and new BFGoodrich 205/75R14 redline tires; the tires still have the stickers on them! He's not getting around as well as he used to and he's got his hands full trying to get his car back together, so I'd like to bring the wheels and tires to the Olds Homecoming show and try to unload them. I know he has far more money into them than he will ever get out of them, but what's a fair price to ask?

Note that he wasn't trying to match any original colors with the wheels; he wants to paint his 442 black and he picked the wheel color he wanted with his car. Thanks for your opinions.










This is the project they were supposed to go on... : )

Those wheels should fit on factory disc brakes, what kind of brakes did he put on the car? John

Complete kit from one of the classic car vendors... Inline Tube, maybe? I don't know the brand or anything about it, just know he has gone anther direction on wheels and wants to sell the ones he had powdercoated.

Are those 14x6 or 14x7 wheels? I know the 7" wide wheels certainly will work with factory disc brakes, but I don't think the 6" wide ones will.

They're 7" wide, but with the aftermarket Wilwood disc brake kit from PST they just don't fit.


Wanna fly with me on Thursday to go to the Olds Homecoming?
