ROTFLMAO! Sorry...ahem racing wheels well yes in the day... 1976 - 1979 308GTB/GTS......those even have the ancient tires still attached..are you doing an archeological dig in the desert somewhere? A West Coast dealer did that inset paint treatment I've been told....... I run them still, how many do you have? Throw the tires in a landfill and I'll go $25 each rim......
Don't think the Campy's went far into the 80s...not in 14". 390MM then 16" on the 308QV. Chromodoras are more common, note the "sharp inside corner" on the lug nut surround, on these. Those are soft edges on the Chromo's.... Go find the lug nuts, they are $65.00 EACH!
Welcome to the site though, and thanks for posting the pics! *shaking hands* I'm BigTex and I have LOTS of those wheels........LOL!
they've been sprayed with black rustoleum, which should increase the value by 100%! Oops- sorry about the type-o, I meant decrease the value by 100%
thanks for all of the info. and yes these were found on an archelological dig. Im going to be selling them, but not sure what to ask for them. They have to be worth more than 25.00 ea (Big Tex) no? thanks again
Did the original Mondial 8 use that size? (14x7.5 for 205/70?? The 328 has 16x7 rims for 205/55, the GT-four had 14x6.5 rims for 205/60, the EVO has 17x7.5 for 225/45.) For pricing, check tirerack.com for the price of new rims. Then take a realistic look at the condition. (chipped enamel? corroded valve fitting?) For comparison, superformance.co.uk sells new 16x7,8 QV replica rims for 625 quid for the set (about $800 US) Of course, if they came from Pharoh's Ferrari, ... (Tut-sarosa? ) Oh, and leave the ancient tires until just before shipping -- they protect the bead sealing edge.
GT4 spec is: 205/70 VR 14 60's are too low. I have 215/60's. One of the PO's trying to be "sporty", I guess. I still get hung-up more than I care to. Image Unavailable, Please Login
These wheels were used on various vintage 308's...from 1975 to 1979 as mentioned. Early cars had the 14x7, later vintage had the 14.7.5 size. The wheels are common and not particulary valuable (especially in that condition, and with the non-stock blacked out spoke look). Check Ebay for previous listings...but I think you will be lucky to get more than $100 each for them. Just to be presentable, someone will spend a good deal of labor or just pay someone $150 to $200 per wheel to make them look new again. Plus, new caps and aluminum valve stems. And the vintage tires...good for show I guess...must be dry and hard as rocks now.
Oops; I didn't mean a 308GT4, I meant my old Celica "GT-Four", the ST165 model that Carlos Sainz won the 1990 WRC with. (But I suspect he wasn't using the OEM Bridgestones on his.) In the US, the Celica "GT-Four" was called the "Turbo AllTrac". (The car I replaced with the EVO8) I was comparing tire/rim combinations from my experience. I should have included the 14x5.5 turbinas for 165HR14 XAS on the Alfa Spider (upgraded to 185/70 Bridgestones). I was thinking that a 14x7.5 would be very wide for a 205/70-14 tire. The Yoko Avid specs at 205/70-14 call for a rim width of 5.5 to 7.5 with the specs based on a 6" wide rim.
Actually I have paid from $65 to $250 for used ones complete with stem and cap.........and ancient tires that promptly went into the trash! LOL! Thanks for posting...I am NOT kidding about the value of the lug bolts..more $$ than the rim for sure.....
what exactly is wrong with the 14" XWX's ? i still run them today. cheers, d Image Unavailable, Please Login
