I agree, but those wheels aren't meant to be driven on.
Those are shoes for a trailer queen.

That about sums it up " Wheels that are not meant to be driven on" :U I am sorry but the fun of owning cars like ours is in the driving. They were meant for that not to be put on pedestals! :mad

I think they look like the alloy wheels used in the late 70's. If that's the case you would be better off buying the later wheels. The only one who would be interested (at that price) would be someone who has a 73 that originally came with the wheels and was looking for NCRS points.

I recall reading (maybe in the Black Book) that they were recalled because they were porous and wouldn't hold air.
