    American Racing Magnesium Wheels 15 X 8.5

    Fantastic condition American Racing Magnesium wheels in 15 X 8.5. They are the Porsche bolt pattern 5 X 130. I bought them for my 914-6 GT car and they were just a little too wide. Super cool vintage Americans in desirable magnesium and a wide format for your flared hotrod. No corrosion on the front and the lips are in great condition having been kept protected by Gibbs. The centers were painted black prior to my ownership. I should have the special lug nuts for them, but am unable to locate them at the moment. Assuming I locate them, they are included. I submitted to BaT and thought they would be perfect for someone there, but oddly they turned down my submission.

    Not sure the market on these and I was hoping to see that on BaT, but thought I would ask $3,500 for the pair here. Pretty rare and I have not seen another set wider than 6" with a Porsche bolt pattern.

    Thanks Mike, appreciate that. Figured these would at least be spoken for by now. And I am surprised that BaT turned them down. I thought for sure they would fit perfectly into their "carefully curated" offerings. These would look awesome on a flared hotrod. Good ba they would not fit on the 914 GT.

    How about a bump to the top with a price drop. I still think my original ask was fair at $3,500. They would be such a cool set to swap back and forth with Minilites or Fuchs.

    Are the rims on the rear the same as yours? The fronts are Group4s but the rears look like yours.

    Free bump too.

    that would be my thought as well that they should be already gone without any price slash.
