I got extremely lucky (maybe
) at a swap meet this weekend and got a set of 4 Revolution 3 piece wheels in 16x9 (4" backspace) and 16x10.5" (5" backspace) with a 5x4.5" bolt circle. Previous owner said they came off his 69 Mustang Boss 302, but he put it back to stock.
They look like this.
But they are 5 lug with a fatty fat lip.
Also got 2 extra Revolutions of slightly different style that are 15s with about 9" of width.
Condition of my wheels are well-used but all there and straight. They will need a complete going over, probably disassemble them and have the centers powdercoated by my friend, get my other friend to polish the barrels.
Any idea on value? Target markets? I think they would go on a 240SX, maybe an SC300 or other larger Jap car. Its a pretty popular bolt pattern.
Wide 3pc wheels that may be rare? VWVortex. Stanceworks. Etc etc.
Should I get the centers powdercoated before I list them? I was thinking of getting them stripped and polished, getting pics, then getting them powdercoated whatever color Mr. Customer wants or sell them as a broken down set, but clean and straight and ready to finish.
Don't break them apart, just put them up for sale. Whatever you like a buyer will use as a tool to lower the price. Ha, I'll pm you since I'd like to have them...
email me at aacthree at gmail. I never get PMs from this board for some reason.
Post them up here, as-is. I know I'm in the market...

Revolutions are made in the UK, and are a good brand. The one piece ones I had were very strong, and they were a popular choice for racers back in the day. I think the company is still in business but no one in the US is importing them(?).
