What do you think these are worth

[tdskip]

Set of four in nice shape. Faded but no curb rash. Don't know the exact size but they are on a TR4 and look OK as to wheel well fit;

Just as a point of reference, I recently obtained a set of 4 vintage alloy wheels for the TR4 -- those were in very good condition, were British-made and had been powder coated in the original hammertone finish -- for $500.

I would be interested in those if you decide not to buy them.

I like that design, takes me back to the days. The missing lug nuts and center caps drops the value to me. That said, I would go $300.

They look wider then the stock TR4 wheels. When I had a 4, I widen the wheels to accept SP190 Dunlops with no problem. The car handled much better.

If they are made from magnesium, I have heard there are issues you should be aware of. That is they are highly susceptible to corrosion from the elements and if not correctly maintained will fail structurally.

Just a cautionary note.

US Mags.
Have 7 of them in Ford 5-bolt on my Willys, spare, and snows, with caps (but 5-screw).

Looks like parking enforcement found it before it was parked....white mark on the tyre, eh?

Those are Ansen Sprints. While Ansen is long gone, American Racing makes a copy of the originals and are even offering them in the 4x4.5 - 4 bolt pattern, but they're 7" wide with a 4" backspace. Maybe worth a look for the possibility of purchasing new center caps. https://www.wheelsforless.com/detail.aspx?ID=2513

Boy, I'm looking at the offset, the openings, the finish, the raised ring around the lug nuts......all exactly the same as my 1966 vintage US MAgs.

Ansen Sprints have a MUCH bigger cutout, at least on newer ones, no?

The cutouts on these vintage 5-bolts are bigger, and the ring around the bolts is bigger, too.

That's why I said US Mag.
Mine have that exact shape as shown in the photo in post #1.

Got a photo of the backside?

 

[tdskip]

Hi Dave - no picture of the back side. I may need to take a larger parts deal to get the wheels as well, but will try to grab more details and pictures next time I'm out there.

Thanks for all of the help guys!

It would just be interesting to see what's cast (in raised letters) on the back.....or not......

I thought they were Ansen's primarily remembering their widespread use on Datsun 240/260Z's (which also had a 4.5" bolt pattern) and a buddy who had them on his. Take a look (3rd post down) https://www.celicasupra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26535&page=2

Those are snap-in caps without the 4 screws to hold them to the face of the wheel.

Very nice! Trade you some original steel wheels for them - the wobble on the ones I have is hardly noticeable at all!
