Ok so i have a full set of original alloy lugs in really good condition with no stripping whatsoever. I got them from a friend of mine who took them off his 914 he bought back in the 70s. They've been in a box for over 15 years. I also have two original chrome caps with minor denting that came with the lugs. How much do you guys think this lot would be worth?

Lugs - I've seen guys try to sell them used in that & better condition for $5-8 ea., but $10 is pushing it cuz you can get nice chromed repros with proper acorn head & threadless lag like these, & you can still get them brand spanking new from Porsche for $21 ea. - $16+/- right now the the PCA 20% off until 3/31.
Caps - AA lists them as available, but those may be repro or NLA, since the dealers don't have then now, but there are a variety of aftermarket choices at the usual sources. Check on TheSamba, PP, AA, etc. - & look at both repro new lugs' prices & look at the new plain billet or stamped caps out there new & crisp - & bet 50% or less than that for these, since they're not in great shape except for an average DD - same with the Lugs, which are okay but not great condition. For me & many out there with nice 914s & nice wheels, they'd prefer to put on OE/NOS or nice aftermarket lugs & caps, whereas these appeal to the budget 914 DD crowd with alloy wheels. All is IMHO, but hope it helps! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

You would probably have to throw in the caps for an extra ten for both as they are dented. The new aftermarket steel caps are quite nice. |

ok cool thanks guys. I'm trading my alloy lugs for a set of zinc plated steelie lugs.. I don't need the alloy lugs since i have steelies and don't plan on changing that =]
