bit of a longshot
i rent a unit on a farm,and today the farmer showed me these whells hes had for years in the garage.
there apparently from a ford 8,1930s model.
wire wheels,size 17" 4.5 wide
still have air in the tyres,and tyres are actually not too bad,not all cracked like youd expect.

any idea if there worth anything????
2 have centre caps missing i think,but there not in too bad nick for 80yr old rims lol

might put em on my escort rst,i like 17" rims lol

 

could be worth contacting an owners club or even speedshack maybe. i'd say they're worth something, i mean where can you pick up winter wheel "runners" for your 1930's ford lol.

 

That's got to be one of the coolest post's ive seen on here

Id imagine they'll be worth a pretty penny to the right person when refurbished........

 

i was hoping he still had the car to,but he scrapped it

but he did show me in one of the barns,and inside was a fully caged up clio with carbon bucket seats and fire extinguishers inside etc
lovely bit of kit
never moves so might see what the crack is with it
i was hoping he was gonna show me a mk1 escort hes had for years that i could have for Ł50

 

Your best bet is to get them refurbished, then try and advertise. It won't cost much to get them like new.

 

maybe not, originality is everything with some people, especially classic car owners.

 

ask rod, iirc he has an old calssic ford
