What are these Kelsey Hayes worth at auction?

[KOPBET]

Two different sets of 15x8 Kelseys. One 4 rim set with caps, sans tires. One with some pretty good old Firestone GR70-15 QRZs but only one cap (pics not that great, wheels kinda dirty).

What's the part number on the back?

Ecklers gets about $900 for the set, I beleive they are repros.

I have a matched set of five originals with good tires, I am curious about price as well.

If they're in good shape, $75 each would be reasonable. The 80-82 aluminum wheels are supposed to be lighter than the earlier wheels.

I realized my question may be misleading, so to be more clear I should ask what a reasonable price to PAY at auction would be.

These rims are available at a local auction this weekend. Thought I might bid on them and see how it goes.

LOL....OH......that DOES make a difference! I just bought a set of ralleys with rings, centercaps, and tires for $100. I bought a set of 4 aluminum (no tires) in decent shape for $75, and sold them for $250. It depends on the buyer and the seller. If there is another C3 guy at the auction, he may outbid you, but just a Chevy guy would more than likely back down after about $100, I would think. Myself, I wouldn't pay more than $150 for the set.

Sorry for the confusion. I posted while in a hurry.

There is another set like the middle set pic with amazingly good Firestone 500s on them but only one rim has a center cap (shown in the bottom pic).

Well...the caps you can get.....repros even, the originals are not too bad yet.

The Firestone 500 tires were recalled early 1978 because of safety reasons. If someone has a 76 or 77 that wants to show there cars nationally then these are the tires to have. I have heard of people putting complete sets together from spares. I have seen them go with the YJ8 rims and the Firestone 500 tires for around $500.00.
If one was to purchase these tires and try to turn them for a profit I would inform a prospected buyer of the safety concerns related to the recall back in 1978 just to CYOA.

I remember those Firestone 500's from back then, they had a nasty habit of shredding at highway speed
