I'm not interested, but if you give a description about the tyres, what brand etc etc you might have a little more interest.
Also this should be posted in the for sale section. Since you're a new member I think you have to make a gold coin donation or wait until you have 10 posts - I can't remember what the go is now, its been sooooo long since I've had to look that up.
Welcome to ausubaru

not much worth really.
pretty much worth more to keep in the shed as an ornament than to sell them.
youd be lucky to scrape 150-200 with good tyres (4 of)

I'm stoked to hear that! How did you find Ruby Scoo and hence the forum?
Those spokes aren't bad, you'll just have to find the right buyer.

just a little known search engine called google. Will start up a proper intro thread and one to follow the build of my 89 touring wagon, a recent purchase after not having a 4wd for 12 months

I'd be keeping them if it was me as you never know when you may have to put them on to satisfy the vehicle inspectors when it comes time for inspection and registration. As it is you have them and they cost nothing to store in the shed and if kept dry all they will acumulate is dust but you do have to be aware that as rubber gets old it gets hard and can develop cracks in the carcass.

Always liked that style.
Ebay would be your best bet

I've been beating myself up for ages after not bidding on a set of those in 14 x 6 size for my rx leone,that were on e bay,they ended up going for $78 from memory and i didnt bid on them because they were pickup only and interstate. I think they would have gone for alot more if they were advertised properly.There is a website that has a list of all the old school rims made for the l series and their different knock offs and sizes etc but i can't find the link.

You would be suprised how much those wheels are worth, I have them on my L wagon and was offered $400 a couple of years back
the 14's are worth more though
