I need some advice.
I've been storing the original 14" rims and tires
that came on my '68 Formula S Barracuda.
The car has been sitting on Cragars/BFG's
for the lat 4 years and I doubt I will change back to original.
Thing is, I need to make room and am thinking of tossing them.
The tires are crap and the lug holes are "egged" out.
On the slim chance I ever want to go 100% orig.,
are these rims scarce or easily found?

Thanks,
Rick
 
If they are the 5.5 wide wheels they are probably worth trying to sell. If nothing else, have the old tires removed and they store in a much smaller space.
 
I would hold on to them but then I hold on to everything. You just never know when you might need them. Years ago I bought a 68 that had small to big bolt adapters on the rear and a huge pair of Cragar SS wheels and white letter tires. I sold those to a guy who was building a 3 wheeler for almost what I paid for the entire car. I just happened to have stock wheels here to poke under it. Still under there today.
I once tossed a reverb audio unit that came in our first 67 fish. I had no idea it would bring a fist full of dollars someday.
 
If the lug holes are wobbled out they are not safe and should be recycled. Could you post pics to see how bad they are? They could also be used as a spare too, these rims are hard to find in the wider size.
