    My apologies if in the wrong forum here. I am considering making an offer on a set of 5 vintage ET wheels. What do you feel is a fair value offer?

    I have a set. They don't use the standard style unilug washers. I had to have ten of them made by a friend who had a machine shop and cut them on a laser water jet, using an old one for a pattern. I bought mine two decades ago so I don't know what current value is.

    Do your homework before you shop. When a deal comes along you have to be ready that instant. A set of 4/5 of ANY old wheel doesn't come along that often.

    So did you find out what they sold for so you have a better idea next time ?

    ET washers are regularly available here at Socal swap meets or on Ebay. ETs are my favorite wheels...all that being said 14s are hard to deal with in finding tires so for that set of 5, id be hard pressed to pay more than $200-$250. Here's my restored set of 10s and 8.5s for my boogie van project.

    Despite 14" wheels being all the rage in the period, they're not very desirable today. I like the look, it's the anti-big-inch wheel, but I don't think I would have paid more than $100 for that set, maybe $150 and only if I really wanted them. I've got quite a few sets of really interesting 14" custom wheels and they all came to me really cheap.
