As far as I know, there is no such thing as 10" rear and 8" front wheels for a GT5. The original Campagnolo or Tecnomagnesio wheels came only in 10" for the fronts, and the rears were all 13" (although 14" could be special ordered).

My car has a set of 10" fronts and 14" rears, which I hear are rare. I have been thinking about going to more modern wheels.
Anyone know what these wheels are worth (yeah, I know, "whatever someone will pay")?

Now would be a good time to ask, "are these GT5 wheels?"
I know a previous owner worked hard to find these, and my car is a GT5 (conversion) so I assumed these are what you are looking for even though I thought they were actually GT4 wheels.

Robert,
Yes they are GT5 or GT4 wheels.
The 14" width are rare, are you sure that's what they are? It's just that many people mistakingly measure the width to the outer lip and assume they are the 14's, the width should be measured betweem the inner lip where the tire bead seals.
Dependent on your price I mught be interested as I'd like a set of the original Campi's on my GT5.

Never measured them. Going from info I received about the car when I bought it. It was also listed that way when it was for sale at PIM (but not sure if they check that sort of thing). Also saw an old post from a previous owner when he thought about selling them years ago.
Not sure if I would sell them, that is why I wondered if anyone had a guesstimate on their value.

Robert,
I also had those wheels and wanted to go up to 17s. I sold them with 15 yr old Pirellis on them.
For what I got selling them I had enough for a set of fully polished Hall Ultra Wheels, studs, spacers and new Michelin Sports.
And I had money left over. Which means, they are worth more than you think!

Hmmmmm, sorry Daniel I think I'll hold on to these wheels for a while.
I wasn't trying to hijack your post, I just figured that someone might be able to give me an estimate of their value so I could figure out whether or not to sell them.
