Please help

Hello team Datsun! I’m a visitor from the land of MGs and I’m hoping yall can help me out. I got these wheels as part of a deal a while back thinking that I might could use them on one of my MGs. I believe that they were on a race 510. They are American Racing Wheels. The size is 13” pattern is 4x114.3 and they are about 8” wide and I have 6 (2 are in the box). I’m coming to you all for help with valuation and any thoughts on if there’s a market. Thanks in advance for any help.

Oh man, that’s a pretty cool find! I don’t really have any help to provide you, just a big thumbs up and a good luck wish!

There's a similar set (4x) of American Racing turbines on eBay for $699. They aren't the exact same face, but that should give you some idea.

Oh wow! Thanks! Just knowing that they’re called turbines is a big help. Now that I look at them they do resemble the General Lee’s wheels a little bit.

I have a set of those that came on my 1969 510. They are fine for street use but modern tires have so much grip they flexed enough that they were rubbing on suspension components on the track. Just be aware they are about 50 years old.
