    ARE 398 Center Caps

    As some of you may or may not know..these wheels are pretty hard to find and are even harder to find with all the Screw on caps....so how much would a set of the caps sell for? Reason asking is I might be selling mine and getting some aluminum center caps but don't know much to sell them for.

          Yeah, If I decide to sell these..which most likely I will, I will post them up for sale in the F/S section. Hard to decide on price b/c I can't go off of anything b/c no one is selling except for what I stated earlier that they are hard to find and I have all 4. But I will also be taking frequent trips to the junkyard from which I got the wheels from. 2 weeks ago they had 3 clean and mint condition sets come in but an employee learned of thier value and took all of them -_-

            Yes, finding ARE 398's are hard enough, but seldom do you ever find the caps. Again, I am interested, but only to sweeten the pot for when I sell these wheels.

            Let me know if you come across any 16x8 barrels for them - must have 28 mounting holes. The (hole/bolt) count seems to vary if you get in to the bigger barrels. At 16x8 I would certainly keep this set.

              Yeah, and I sure will the wheels I found were 16x9 and I am almost done restoring them. I will post some pics of the caps. They are dirty I started cleaning one but decided on getting aluminum caps for it instead.

                Going to post more pics of the wheels. the first pics shows how they were when I got the wheels, they look much nicer now after polishing the lips and bolts, waiting for the faces to come back from powdercoating.
