wood wheels

Well now that my street crud is up to grenade inspector. I'm going to blow it all and ask a whats it worth question.
Ive had a couple guys interested in buying the wooden wheels off my 29 Es***. So any suggestions on an asking price?

 

thanks for that but i bet the primitive decorating ladies up at the rusty chandelier would do better than that

 

They're only worth what someone will pay.

Trade them away for something you really want, or look for recent sales on eBay. That might give you an idea of their value.

 

How many people here actually run wooden wheels ?

 

well i didn't figure anyone ran them on their hotrod. i was hoping someone else had sold there's or maybe a resto guy's input

 

There's two wooden spoke wheels on ebayUS at the moment...

A 23" T Ford with one bid at $65.
A Stutz Bearcat with no bids ate $499.

I guess the Ford one would be a fair sort of indication.

Cheers, Glen.

 

Es*** stuff is harder to find, but most people are looking for wire wheels- better ride, better look, etc. Maybe take a look in a Hemmings to see fi anyone else has some for sale. Also, it depends on the condition- any pics?

Jsut popped over to modelthaven's sight- they're selling reconditioned T wheels for $150 a piece.

 

I have a 1929 Roosevelt with wood wheels and have driven many other cars with wood wheels and love them. I think it's the fact that there is something almost primitive about them, makes you really know you are driving something old and that is, in my opinion, awesome.

I would hope you could sell them to someone with an Es***, or sell them to the highest offer, or just keep them as wall art. I guess that isn't much help.

 

yeah i want to pull them off my es***, but i do kind of like the cave man vibe they give off..

 

i would just keep them maybe hang'um in the shop as wall art..

 

I got five perfect wires on my 29 pontiac coupe that I would like to unload also.But if I dont they will become wall art also.

 

i agree with the wall art ideas but being on a budgett anything i can sell goes directly back in the build so i become a monney hungry *****.with anything i'm not useing

 

if you want to go original they can be kinda cool .. looks like your gonna have to find someone that needs them ..

well you do know posting replys dont always get the job done and i do understand you need a fair market price , what i was meaning was the price could vary from $100 bucks a wheel to however much someone is willing to spend.. you have not posted any pics that i have seen and we have no idea of their condition ..

 

Is there anything you need for your Es***,that the other guy has?If not,giving one of the stocker guy's a great deal,can pay off well when you do.

 

I have a pair of Es*** wheels that I found in a house we were painting.I guess I'll keep em and hang em up or work them into some artsy bench or something,cant find anyone who wants em.Hate to toss out something thats 80 or so years old!

 

I HAVE 4 *****IN GRAHAM BROS. WOOD WHEELS.. CAME OFF A 29 PANEL. COOL CENTER CAP / LUGNUT. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE WORTH WHATEVER THE GUY THAT WANTS THEM WILL PAY. SO MY "WHAT ARE THEY WORTH" QUESTION WAS ANSWERED WITH A NON-ANSWER. GOOD LUCK.
