Aftermarket rims for 73 Vega GT

Postby LarryWernle » Mon Nov 02, 2020 5:24 pm

So, new member here. I have a set of 4 aftermarket antique “modular” style rims and lug nuts that I used to run on my 1973 Vega GT. Sorry, the car is long gone. The rims are roughly 37 years old, and have been sitting in my basement for roughly 35. They are stamped “T13x5 5JB DOT TEC2 21 83”. My Vega was 4 bolt x 4”, which googles as 4x101.6 today.
They have gold centers and chrome outers, with the 10 “drilled” holes and black cosmetic rivets. The valve stems are there, but they’re 37 years old. No tires, just rims. The center caps are long gone, but I have the lug nuts. They’re all in decent shape, but I have no idea if they’re worth anything. They used to look really nice on my orange & black GT 4cyl stick. They weren’t stock or OEM; I bought them later. I don’t recall the MFR, and google tells me nothing.
Mostly I’d like to see them get to a good home, lol. Maybe someone that would actually put them on a Vega? And send me a photo? My nostalgia runs deep today.

Can anyone tell me anything about what I have or who might want them?

This is phase 2 of the project.

I just completed the installation of QA1 coil overs at all 4 corners.
Lares 2.7:1 steering box.
Overkill tubular control arms.
Narrowed the rear axle (long story).
Added Gen 4 LS1 rear brakes.
Gen4 Camaro shifter and console for the 700R4.

Working on adding Gen4 LS1 calipers and 13" rotors up front.
That should be done tomorrow.
