What are a set of Libre 14's worth?

Well I am thinking of picking up a set of those black Libra 4's in a 15x7, but I am not sure how that would look. In order for them to look right, the 'clover spokes' cannot be too long, or it looks weird. If the 4 thick spokes are the same size on the 14" and 15" rim and all that changes is the chrome or polished part, then it would look great I think. Very retro. I am trying to emulate the 4 spoke rim on the 71 SCCA Champion car I love so much. Just paying homage to a legend.

I purchased my libres in '82 before I had a Z car. They were stacked in the corner of a garage where I worked. At another garage during a spring cleaning I bought a set of slotted mags for a Mazda and a Campagnolo Pantera wheel priced as aluminum scrap.

There is a company in Florida called Retro Sport Wheels. Their Libre wheels look great. Anyone currently using their products?

I sold a set of Libres for $600 + shipping a few years ago but the value has dropped out because you can't find tires, especially performance tires for the 14" wheels...

The unavailability of 14" tires is why I went with the ZX turbo 4 spoke wheels. The Libre wheels are pretty, but what good does that do if the only source of tires is Coker?

Not everyone "needs" performance tires. Good "S" or "H" speed rated tires will do just fine for most street driven 240Z's - and there are still enough of them out there in the sizes needed for a 5.5" wide wheel.

Libres just look so period correct on a 240Z… I paid something like $24.95 each for mine. I bought them new from BRE in 1972. I bought a nearly new set around 1995 and paid $400.00 for them.

Libres - the only way to go!!

My car came with a set of 14 x5.5 0 American Drag Master 6 hole mags and rock hard 10 year old tires. After doing some research, I found that 205R70 fit quite nicely and had the same revs/mile as the original 175HR14. Ended up getting General Tire Altimax RTs from Walmart for something like $70 each. - And an accurate speedometer to boot.

Restored and still on the car after 42 years! Original set of American Racing Libre wheels with Y - R888 performance tires.
