I have these 14" American Racing Libres, a rare and desireable old school wheel. I have 4 of them, and once I'm done polishing the lips they are going on Ebay.

No they won't. How do you have 2149 posts without knowing that the non GSL-SE 1st gen has a 4x110mm bolt pattern?

They were one of the cool wheels to have for old school rotaries in the 70's. They are the 4-spoke version of the American Racing 200-S. Lots of companies copied the design...It was a very influencial wheel, kinda like the Torq-thrust was for American muscle cars (which is still around in the form of those Bullit wheels on newer Mustangs.) Tons of import racing cars from the 70's like Datsun 510s, 240Zs, roadsters, Corollas, and british stuff used the American Racing Libre. Also mine are 14" while most of them you see are 13".

Yeah I bought them to go with my Rx-4 but I'm selling it and the wheels to help fund my FD project.

By not owning a first gen or posting in the first gen section or reading in the first gen section.

My mistake.
