I'm glad to see these cars are starting to get a reputation in the collector market. Maybe in a few years my great condition 86 Eagle limited may be worth way more than the $1300 I paid. But I will never sell this car.  :) I don't like those wheels myself. I have never liked over sized wheels on any car. At least that is something that can easily be changed.

Don't expect to recover much by selling the Chrysler wheels! I used to work at an OE wheel distributor and we would buy those by the dozen for $20 each (scrap value) from dealerships who changed them under warranty. The problem was the outer lip which would corrode under the clearcoat. Because the rest of the wheel is plastic chrome clad there is no easy way to repair this, so Chrysler would just replace them. That's probably why the center caps are missing as they would be reused.
