There's another set of "milk truck" wheels on eBay.

I wonder how high they will go, or if the bidding will meet the reserve. This set was bid up to $4100 last fall and didn't meet reserve.



This one sold for over $250 about two and half years ago.

 

Way too expensive, wonder why no repops unless there`s not enough demand.

 

These will bring a good buck. The vintage salt flats racers and street rodders go nuts for them.

 

The blue ones don't appear to be Wide-5, almost look like 5 @5"

 

$1,525.00! with over six days to go. Reserve not met yet. This proves to me there are at least two people with move money than brains

 

I don't get it. What's the attraction?

 

It's all Al Gore's fault...if he didn't invent the internet then things like this would still be rustin' away on a old Divco truck behind the barn.

 

They look like old VW Bug wheels, sure wish I had a set so I could sell them!

At that price shouldn`t someone be able to make abit of $$ making reproductions.....
There must be a catch but what is it?

 

Just an update. I suppose most you don't care but it's free and I like to see have how they'll go so I thought maybe some else would.

$2,550.55 with two hours to go. Still hasn't met reserve even though the seller has lowered the reserve.

 

I'd guess Boyd Coddington is scratching his head right about now.Two wheels?...I'm giving up panning for gold!!

 

Honestly, if I had a '30's or '40's rod, I think I'd buy a set of repros in a heartbeat if they were $100 a pop...They just look right. Aluminum just doesn't look right on an old-old car/truck.

 

Heck, I may just go to the local JY and sort through his pile. Pay him $50.00, and turn around and sell them for $3500. Then I can buy that '53 Merc I've wanted, lol.

 

$2700, and didn't meet reserve.

Man, I wish I could stumble onto a farm auction with a set of these. I would almost guarantee no one else would know what they were for and I could get them for less than $100 for the set. I would love to see the look on my wife's face as I'm bidding $100 on a set of old,"junky" wheels. Then I again Iould like to see her face when I would sell them for $2500!

I wonder how many of these might have been just tossed out over the years.

 

what size are these wheels? Had no idea they would go so much.
