Looks like I have a set of these in my garage!!!

how much are they worth?


They look to me like "Black" (brand not colour!)wheels and if they are 14 inch they are typically about $50 each in that sort of condition.

I too have a set in my garage and at one stage when my wheel fetish was at its worst had 20 of them!

They are very light however.

They can be Watanabes, if they have the circular logo in the centre. I have some Watanabes in that size and offset and while they look very similar to the Black racing ones, they are slightly different up close.
