What would this set of Kelsey Hayes expect to go for at auction, approximately? KOPBET2007-11-06 21:36:45

I bought 7 of these over the last 2 years. Except for the NOS one that cost me $150, the other 6 averaged out to about $70 each. In GOOD condition, NO curb rash. One guy sent me an "extra" at his expense. Severe curb rash. Threw it in the recycle bin. They can be bought cheap enough that major repairs aren't worth the expense.

  If You watch e-bay they will be on there all the Time. If they are date Coded for a Crome Bumper Car they are worth about Twice as much as a Late Car just due to the Fact that People with the more valueable Restorations are willing to Pay more. More Ralleys are sold Bare without Center Caps or Rings. About Half the Wheels Sold the Seller has No Idea what the Date Code is or why We would want it. Richard....

FWIW:  the 80-82 optional aluminum wheels are supposed to be lighter than the earlier wheels.

 There is more than one Date Code on the Wheels and they may be diffrent from each other. But before we get to complicated well just go to the Valve Stem. There are Stampings on each side.  K stands for Kesey-Hayes. 1 Stands for Romulus MI. and the next Number is the Year or a 9 would be a 1969 or a 1979.  Next to that will be another Number  wich will be the Month it was Built a 10 would be October. Skiping to the other side of the Valve Stem Hole there will be a Number indecating wich Day of the Month it was Completed. And the last Two Letters tell You wich Type of Car it came on. 1968 Wheels are AG 15x7" and are hard to come by. All following Wheels are AZ and 15x8" through 1982.

The alloy rims will also have a date cast into the back side of them...the format is the same. You should also see the name "Kelsey Hays", a date code, "15x8", and probably, "Mexico", depending on where they were actually cast. If the rims have not been overly cleaned on the inside, you may also see an ink stamp date...but not all had that.

This is what I see.

I see the K-H part #, size(15x8.0), GM part #, and "Made in Mexico". I can't quite make out the info on the center hub, tho.
Are you trying to sell these, or buy them?
