If you can't articulate what the issues were, how is one supposed to make an informed decision on buying these from you?

I can tell you that those are not Halibrand magnesium wheels, as I have a NOS set of Original Halibrand Magnesium 427 S/C Wheels in the boxes. I will try to get some pictures and post them if I get a chance. Those look like Trigos, and that is the company that Lynn Park started, and owned, before he sold it.

Mag wheels attached....

Note Mag wheels are generally always coated on the inside. Yours are alloy!

Can anyone help me identify these wheels? I bought a building and these were left behind. From what I am seeing they may be original Halibrands.

They look like a nice old set of wheels but not Halibrand magnesium, imo.

To me for a set of old wheels they have too much shine under the dust that’s alloy so they would not be original

Default More Pics

Here are some other pictures. If I had to guess they are aluminum. Just would like them to go to a good home and get a fair price for the set. Any idea what a good asking price would be?

Thank you!

Yeah I’d vote for aluminum too. They’re six pin, which may cut down the available buyers. Most replicas (not all though) use five pin hubs. Wild guess would be $2500-$3000?
Let’s see what others think!

You would have to post more pics of chassis and suspension so that we can tell you what car you have.

Contemporary Classics (CCX) and ERA(hi Bob!) used the 6-pin version of your wheels. I had them on my UK RAM though (and my CCX).

CCX had an elaborate adapter for the front to convert from 5-pin Jaguar PCD to 6-pin original PCD. That added some to the front track. The rear was new made up hub where the 6 pins bolted into. It replaced the Jaguar unit.

I also think you have Trigo ally rims. Approx 25 years old. I kinda recall the markings.
