    Recently acquired these wheels from a deceased friend. Rears have NOS Mickey Thompsons mounted and the fronts are what look to be new never used. 15 x 10 or 12 / 5 x 4.75. Tires mounted as shown in pics. Fronts are 15 x 6 2020-07-04 17.19.12.jpg 2020-07-04 17.19.22.jpg 2020-07-04 17.19.55.jpg 2020-08-21 16.12.03.jpg 2020-08-21 16.12.08.jpg 2020-08-21 16.15.02.jpg 2020-09-13 16.14.00.jpg 2020-09-13 16.14.39.jpg 2020-09-13 16.14.52.jpg 2020-09-13 16.17.17.jpg 2020-09-13 16.17.39.jpg / 5 x 4.75 Won't fit anything I presently own and looking to part with them at some point. I believe them to be from the 90's. Any information regarding them will be helpful. I've only found minor references to these "Halibrand" markings on the site.

    Don't know what they are worth, so looking for information to help determine reasonable value. 4-3/4 all four , yes.
    My 40 is 4-1/2 so they won't work for me and the rears are certainly wider than will fit the car.

    Unfortunately the tires are probably not worth much. I would bet those rears are 15x12s as the ribs around the windows are slightly different than the ones on 15x10s - I have a pair of those 12s myself. The wheels are pre-Kansas so 70s, 80s or maybe early 90s. Definitely worth some money - I would say $3000 for the set easy. I need some 15x6 fronts myself so if you are willing to split them up I'd be interested.

    Thanks Magfiend for the info. Don't think I'll split them up. No rush to part with them att. Could come in handy funding the finishing of my 40 project in the near future but I will keep you in mind.

    Well, if you are game for some horse trading I would entertain taking the whole set of 4.

    I'm going to hold onto them for now. I'll keep you in mind though should the urge to part with them comes up.

    I think the price quoted is a pretty good ballpark. I have 8 Halibrands that I bought in the late 90's
    They were still being made by the Halibrand, Kansas location and shipped to me direct from that
    facility. I have 4.5s, 6's, 8's and 10's, Chevy bolt pattern. All mounted with new or near new rubber, and IF I wanted to sell them, from research on prices I have done, I would ask around $6k for all 8, which is right at $750 each,
    including lugnuts.

    I thought of that as well Stan but the rears are way to big for anything I'm presently owning. I like them and could redrill the fronts and search for a narrower rear set. As I said no rush at the moment. Appreciate the input.

    The Mickey Thompsons mounted on the larger Halibrands have a date code of 87003. I know the owner had these for some time and used to have them mounted on a 29 roadster he was building. Based on the date info I'd lean to the late 80's for the year of manufacture for the larger rears.
