Anyyone seen any sell lately, I've got some one wanting to buy some from me and I don't know what would be a fair price.

They're a very nice set with trim rings and centers

I can't decide wheather to let him have them on hang on to them

Thanks

 

Jamesbo, my understanding is they are fairly rare and getting harder to find all the time. Just for me, unless you need the funds or the space, or this guy is a good friend that you feel like helping out, I'd hang on to them. I still have two of the original wheels off of my Hurst/Olds. Doesn't seem very likely that I'll get another one, but I'm still hangin on. Maybe they're my security blanket.

 

I bought a set last year and am trying to remember. I think the price was $50 each so $200 for all four, then shipping added something like $125 for a total of about $325. When they arrived two had more rust on the bead than I was expecting. I would say a fair price including shipping should be at least $300 and $400 would still be reasonable. I've seen a couple singles go on ebay in the last few years and I believe those went for $75-100 each.

Several years ago I had the centers from 14" wheels welded into 15X10" blanks and I'm thinking it was about $140 each. That might be another way to determine fair value, what other substitues are available.

I know the struggle of selling spare parts like this. The odds of finding another set of nice ones in the future is pretty slim, but what are the odds of getting another car that you'd like to use them on. I've got a few scarce items hidden in the corner of the garage with the idea that maybe someday I'll get a car to use them on. John

 

Thanks folks,

I think I'll jes keep em.

To tell ya the truth, I was gonna give em to this guy but the ole greed ball raised it's ugly head.

All of a sudden what I had that he needed wasn't worth $25.00 and what he had I wanted was sum how worth mega $$$.

Kinda sad.

 

These bolt on 15" SSII are indeed rare. $75-$100 each for these wheels is a fair price(depending upon condition), if you ever do decide to sell them in the near future.

 

i sold a set in the late 90s for $300 and the guy jumped on them. that don't tell todays market but if i had a set i would not let them go for any less than that now.

 

Just a few, What and under statement more like a few hundred

 

I have found the best deals on SSII/III's by going to non Olds events, like Chevy shows or small town car shows with swap meets. I got 4 SSII's with no caps or rings for 40 bucks in very good condition, no rust, nor banged up. Got another set with trim rings and bezels for sixty. Patience pays.

 

There were a set of 14 inch SSll's for sale at the Bearing Burners' show/swap meet in Detroit last Sunday. $60 and each had five very nice bezels on each wheel. I would have picked them up, but I had the little woman with me and I didn't think she'd appreciate hauling a couple of wheels back up the ramp to the second parking level!B.T.W. They were the only Olds stuff I saw! (The threatening weather must have kept the Olds vendors away!)

 

Thanks guys,

I got 14" wheels stored all over the place but not near as many 15"

I retired this one from service cause to get it balanced you had to put so much lead on it, You could have made a canon ball.

 

Nice! Good to see it not go to waste!

 

I got three 15" with the bolt on caps. I was thinking about buying some of the newer re popped chrome Olds wheels. I just might have to sell them.
