We talked about them and I told him I thought they were for Hurst wheels but I was not certain exactly what they were. I ended up buying them because I thought they were really cool and likely had value if they were what I thought they were. I later found out the guy I bought them from had asked a local Pontiac collector what they were and had not heard back from him before I bought them. The collector has a 65 GTO with Hurst wheels and wants to buy them. I want to be fair with him but I really have no idea what they are worth. I could put them on Ebay and have him bid on them but think that would be a bit uncouth. Can anybody familiar with these wheels/caps give me an idea of what these are worth? These are New Old Stock in the original boxes as shown.


Any opinions are welcomed and appreciated.


Thank you,


Jason
Very rare. Have a set on my GTO since 1991. Have one rough spare. Been collecting 35+ years and seen maybe 10 sets in that time. NOS is a rare find with boxes $$$$.

Some small items: the wheels will require the small round backing plates (4) through the wheel center hole with the machine screws (2) and split washers (2) - each cap - to be mountable to the Hurst wheel. The wedge plate on the back of the spinners have been brazed to the pot metal caps. The stock method was a slot and press fit to the edge plate and pot metal eyes on the backside of the spinner.
