Question Olds Wheels should I keep them?

I've got 6 of the original Olds wheels, all with beauty rings, 3 have the bolt on center caps. I've recently listed them on craigslist for my area, but I'm wondering if many people are looking for the original 14" wheels. My space is very limited for what I can store and I have no plans to use these. I also have 5 (4 with snap on caps) of the newer style Olds wheels. Also listed, but do not know how many people are looking for these. My question is should I list these on here or just try to sell the caps, bezels and beauty rings? I don't know what it would cost to ship these. I'm in Columbia, MO.

I shipped a set of SS wheels without tires for about $35 a piece about a year ago. I think I sent them UPS ground. Someone on our site got them (I don't remember who).

Just start a thread offereing them for sale. If nobody wants them it isn't like they're going to rust through from sitting outside for a few months.

x2 on offering them here. You can also throw them on craigslist and ebay.

I would go ahead and put them out there. The problems are the cost to ship and the fact that very few people use 14 inch wheel/tires anymore. Offer the center caps (especially the bolt on ones) separately if somebody wants to buy them.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll probably be putting the up here today after work.

And I think if you use 'Fastenal' for shipping, you'll not approach $35 ea., no matter where they go.
