I'm wanting to take off the Empi GT-5 wheels that are currently on my 63. If I decide to sell them instead of keeping them what's a good price to ask for them? They are polished, no damage, & will come with the mag style lug nuts.


My current rear tires are 195/65/15. It's at stock rear height for now but will be installing adjustable spring plates to lower it 1in. I know the 15x5.5 smoothies from CIP1 will fit because they're the same width and backspace(3.75in) as the current Empi wheels. Will a 15x6 fit? What backspace do I need to make them work?

1 final question about the CIP1 wheels. Cosmetically how much different are they than the original 15x4.5 wheels? I mean, will people be able to walk up & see a physical difference since it will be OEM on front & CIP1 on the rear?
