I have a lead on some nice SS111 wheels. Nice chrome, fresh black inserts done nicely. They are mounted on decent tires. What would they be worth?

Hard to say without knowing their exact condition. Are these factory wheels from a Hurst Olds or 442 that have had the incerts painted or are they aftermarket knockoffs? That'll make a difference. What tires are on them? Making assumptions, you should be about to get around $400ish. The quality of the chrome and rust is a huge factor of course.

New here, just thought i would add my 2 cents worth as around my way people have all but given up on 15 inch any thing ,let alone stock wheels on there whip.
the few sets i have found locally have been in poor shape ,as far as the chrome condition. another factor to consider is the tire condition, age , an size.
I would have say $350 if all looks good ,my opinion is 9 times out of ten the tires on the wheels where never the desired size i wanted . So with that said ,might i add i have come across a set of aftermarket ,outer rim is a chevy ralley with the Super Stock inner welded in. So not correct looking to say the least.
An based on the date code ,almost 6yrs old an the chrome is already rusted .

14 or 15 inch? If 15, I say $300-600.

If we are talking stock SSIII (true 442) wheels (Gold inserts and pin stripe), and they are in good condition (minimal rust, striping is there and very minimal gold insert rust) $300.00 to $500.00, IF they are in EXCELLENT condition.................then the price is SKYS THE LIMIT! I paid $500.00 shipped, for a near perfect set of 4 minus tires, about 6-7 years ago. about 7-8 years ago, somebody paid $1000.00 for a NOS set of 4. These wheels are simply to hard to find in any reasonable driver condition. When they are better than average..................BUY THEM, its like GOLD! the price keeps going up and the supply has nearly dried up.

Damn, I forgot the most important info I guess. They are the 14" SSIII's w/ black inserts.

those are less desirable compared to the 15x7 442 wheels, BUT, if they are in really good condition, id say $150.00 to $200.00 not much more, that's if they have no rust and no curbage.

X2. Most want the 15 inch, they are much harder to find. I've got two sets that I'll never sell.

Hey what ever happened to the guy that was making the 18" SS III Rally wheels? They were really nice looking but the price was out of my range.

His name is Gary Willard and I think due to the price he decided not to make them.
