Default Rare 1960s Rocket RPM 15x6 Wheels, 4.75" BC, Torq Thrust Copies

These are pretty hard to find - the only set I have ever owned. The RPM is a 2-piece wheel with a steel rim and pretty nicely styled in the peak-spoke design. These are 15x6 in Chevy 4.75" bolt circle and look like they will clear even the 4-piston disc brakes on '67-8 Camaros (I can check if someone is interested in confirming). No meaningful damage except for some rash on the outermost lip of one wheel that might have been caused by a tire machine - see pic. I think it would come out pretty clean with some sanding followed by polish.

These are the same wheels Nasblu restored for his '62 Vette - hope he doesn't mind me referencing his post!

Looking for $500 which I think is pretty fair for a true 1960s TT style wheel in the desirable 15" diameter and Chevy bolt circle. I can have the tires dismounted for shipping if the buyer covers the cost (tires are pretty nice but I understand they are a pain to ship).
