Original Bugeye rims worth anything?

My Bugeye has later Rostyle rims and I scored a set of alloy rims from Hap (thanks Hap!) so I have a "surplus" set of original wheels.

If space/money/time where all infinite I'd keep them for sure, but given some very real constraints I was wonder if they are worth anything....

Hey Morris - will grab some over the weekend. Nothing special - just straight and unbent rims. I did get one powder coated out curiosity ( I had one extra original that I used as a spare). Came out pretty nice.

I think I'll just hold to them in case someone here or at one of the local clubs needs them. They are taking up space, but I just can't bring myself to, well, you know, get rid of them...

Happy Holidays!

Sour Subject here,

When I moved from my apartment to my house in thee dead of winter, I left a set under the porch, when I went back in March some scrap guy had taken them.

The had the rivets welded and were powdercoated.

They also took a spare minilite style rim for my MINI.

The friggin ast_ard.
