Hi folks,
I’m new to tho forum and don’t know a lot about pontiacs other than I had a 67 Tempest Custom in high school back in late 70s .
Anyway, I have acquired these crazy looking 8 lug wheels, drums , center caps.
So far I have researched some, to find these were on big cars.
My question:
I have a full set of what look like original wheels, drums, center caps. And also have full set of aftermarket new in box wheels, drums, center caps, rings .
Is there a market for these now days? And could you possibly tell me what a fair price would be per set?
Thanks in advance for any input. Hope this is posted on the correct spot and I’m not breathing any rules.

depends on if they have enough liner material to run and if usable if a cut is made on them.Drums beyond there liner life and need to be relined are usually worth about $25 as cores.New caps and trim rings have a value.Tom

There's a reprint of an old article about 8 lug wheels on Fred Teufert's website that provides some useful information and should help you date your wheels: http://www.teufert.net/pontiac/8lug/8lug.htm. There are multiple pages, click on the 'next page' button at the bottom of each page.

I sold like three (3) of the rims a few years back for like $125. Think? they were fourteens? Personally think that their worth more, than that, but live in new mexico and it's cheaper here. I didn't have a full set. The Drums are where the value is. I'd research Ebay and other Big Car forums.
