    Ran across this guy today who has a 14 inch set of magnums with new mustang caps on them. there are 245/60/14 tires on the rears and 215/70/14 on the front. question is how much would be a fair price for these? rims are average ,tires are very meaty BF Goodrich GT's with no side wall cracks. Pretty nice tires. I have no idea thought maybe one of you might. I dont want to pay to much for them. Thanks mitch

    I payed 10 a piece for my magnums, no tires and I had to refinish them, but I'm super cheap

    I guess it really depends on condition of the wheels. If they are nice Magnum 500's and good condition (more than 75%) tread left, I would say around $150 - $200. You wouldn't necessarily need the Mustang center caps. Could sell those to someone like me who needs a set of caps to recoup part of the cost. :) - Matt

    or get the mav stickers from craig selvey and put them over the little mustang ;) BTW if they are the chromed ones they are worth more. painted 50 bux each for the rim tire i leave to you.

    I paid $25 for 4 14'" painted magnums that were just sand blasted. Check the dates on the tires. If they are 5-6 years old they are throw aways. Not safe.

    14 inch painted Magnums came in 6 and 7 inch widths. 6 inch rims are more common ... 7s were a little tougher to get, came on late 70s Torino Elites, LTDs, Cougars and Wagons.

    I have sold them for $25 each for the 6s and $50 each for the 7s, and that was 10+ years ago when they were much easier to get. I suppose 14 inch rims are a bit orphaned now.

    Any trim rings? ... a nice set of them typically sells for $100/4. Mustang resto guys want them. Trim rings for 6s will fit a 7, but not extend in that last 1/2 inch.

    I prefer these painted wheels with the trim rings left off. Makes them look deeper.
