They are called cookie cutters. I don't know if anyone has ever repopped them. Look up cookie cutter on thesamba to get an idea of value. Its not going to be close to fuch territory though.

Re: Whats the value of these rims?
They can actually sell for good money depending on condition/size etc
Sell them on a Porsche forum.
They should have a 911- part# on the backside somewhere.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Re: Whats the value of these rims?
Be aware those are true "mags" == magnesium castings, and cracks can be an issue.
If they are holding air you are probably OK, but beware.
I could go for a set in 7" and 9s....
Also note the 6" you have may be ET50 offset instead of et23, so they'll fit late cars and Ghias easier.
