    I think they are all magnesium
     

  5. Don't know the make or value, but those are my all time favorite wheels with the dark, tapered, round spokes and light rim.
     
  6. First you need to make sure they are either magnesium or aluminum. Big difference in value.

    Doesnt look like mag to me. If they're steel back 14" wheels...maybe $100 a pair. If they're all aluminum 15" could be up to about $300-$400 for a pair. I'm assuming they're about 6" wide..

    Magnesium tends to go gray over time. The shiny spots on the spokes sure look aluminum to me.

    Nice to see the old "non uni-lug" wheels.

    A picture of the back and the diameter is necessary to give any kind of reasonable value range.

    I'll give you a turkey on rye with a bag of chips. You'll have to buy your own soda.

    20160428_173514.jpg OK, did some checking, back is steel, they are 14x6 inch, front is most likely alum. took a picture of back side but am having problem loading it. Thanks, Bob

    The steel back ones had problems with rust jacking between the two metals, although these look OK yet, and 14" are very hard to sell (despite the fact they are very period correct for a 60's look) A pair of those is probably worth $50

    Keystone made steel back mags like these, along with many others, would be hard to pinpoint a manufacturer without a stamp on them.

    I saw a pair of 14 x 6 Americans at the "All Ford Parts" swap meet a couple weeks back. $100.00 for 4 in good shape.... they were still there when I left, but that its a tiny swap for Ford guys and they were GM pattern. even the Americans in 14" are a hard sell. I probably should have bought them. 15's would go for $100.00 each easy.

    if those were all aluminum 14x6 5 on 4.5, I would give you $150 for 'em. I need a pair for the front of my '65 Falcon. The composites with the steel rim, I pass.

    I've seen those style of wheels go for $5.00 each. No real market for the 14", tires are almost impossible to get.
