General Lee wheels worth?

[84GN-TX]

i have an 84 with the general wheels and will probly be getting some kirban wheels this weekend for it. Im also going to get a set of prostars for the track. Are the general wheels worth hanging on to? theyre in great shape for how old they are. Just dont know if i wanna hang on to them if theyre not worth it.

I would CERTAINLY HOLD ON TO THEM, even though their total worth is about ~$600.00 because to replicate them you would get charged ~$75.00 per wheel for powder coating, and the American Racing Wheel replica's come in a grey finish, not black. Turbines look the best on our cars, but I just wish we could get them in 17's, I can't go back to the 15" era so I got some SLP ZR1's.

I have a link to a nice 86 with them on. I think the need some skulke wheel spacers to fill the wheel well though. I have just had mine on for a second because I am still restoring it, but they sit in a little and my GNX flares will only add to that problem.

FWIT they are not the general wheels. They are the factory stock 7" wheels for the 84 Grand National. They will not fit a Dodge car.
They look like one of three different wheels that were used on the "General Lee". Granted these were the most seen/used wheels.

American Racing sold the rights to GM to make these wheels for the GN and T-Typr/Turbo T cars.
The old rims were called Vectors and were made with both stand lug patters for Ford/Dodge and another patter for GM cars. They were also made with the uni-lug patters that would fit GM/Ford/Dodge.
