Default Re: Split rims worth $$ ?

The buying market is a very, very, small special niche of people like those of us on this forum. And then, even a smaller percentage of that particular group who might be interested in the originality of those wheels. Most guys don't want to deal with them and most tire shops WON'T deal with them. So, add all that up, and I'll just say what I've learned over many years of buying/selling/trading parts for old vintage machinery. It's only a good deal when the buyer and the seller both walk away with smiles on their faces and a warm hand shake.. The best way to start the dance is to throw a dollar value out there and see what kind of response you get from the other parties.

As Henry said, my set (with tires) cost me an overnight trip 875 miles down and back to Southern California. The chance to meet another collector, a warm hand shake and a new GMC friend. The value of those wheels: Priceless.
