Are they the stock wheel? If they are then they're most likely the Widow Makers and they're not worth much because it is next to impossible to find a shop that will work on them because of liability issues. If they're 22.5 wheels then you have a set of valuable wheels. If you're not sure please this page:

Probably the FTE management folks would prefer you list these in the classifieds section rather than here.
But since they're here, I'll suggest that we probably need more info on them. If they are the kind that have a lock ring on the face of the wheel, somebody will benefit from having them. Do they look like this?
If not, are they the kind where the wheel halves connect at the middle of the rim? Like these? Most F-4/5/6s were sourced with this type rim.
If your wheels are like the latter, you should scrap them. They are the very dangerous kind that have come to be called "widow makers". Technical term is Firestone RH-5°. Nobody in their right mind would buy them, and you don't want to be otherwise responsible.

There's new guys all the time that don't know that a path has been worn in the rug on this. And it just didn't seem right to let the member go to all the trouble of trying to sell them if they were junk. Like the guy on eBay a few weeks ago that thought his F-3 17s were rare and valuable one piece rims. It took some back and forth to convince him. Stu
