Your right. I called him and it is 250 a rim $1000 a set plus shipping. That is a little to steep for me. I shouldn't let a pair of Ford innie eight lugs slip by last year for $75 a piece.

larryejoh,
Sorry to post then disappear. As you found out he wants $250.00 per wheel + shipping.
On the subject of opening up the centers a little bit, my 19.5's came off of my 1969 F-250 4x4 and I have since put them on my 1988 F-250 which required me to have the center hub potion of the wheel machined to fit over the later sytle larger hubs. My '69 had a closed knuckle Dana 44 and my '88 has a Dana 50 TTB which has larger hubs. I have not experienced any issues to date and have put lots of miles on them both on & off-road. I will see if I can post a picture of them on my '88.

Personally, unless completely restored -- meaning no imperfections and flawless paint, I think that $250 for most 19.5" is extremely high. The last KH 19.5" SRW (60s vintage, good condition) that I purchased cost me $50 five years ago. And that is the most that I have ever paid for one of these (purchased 12 in the last decade). Some NOS 19.5" rims (VGC) showed up on Ebay a few years back and even those were only $95.00 each.
Stu's right, it will definitely take some leg-work to find some at a reasonable price. Given, there were a few different styles available depending on manufacturer and year. But if you aren't in a hurry you can do much better than $250/wheel.
Try posting a local Craigslist wanted ad. You're likely to save a bundle on shipping and the seller might even agree to allowing you to check for trueness before committing to buying. And be prepared to look at a few derelict/vintage Dodges and GMs.

Thanks. There is no way I am paying 250 a wheel. I have been posting in Craig's list for about a year. I found some in California last year for 75 apiece which I thought was too much at the time especially since I had just payed 20 apiece for two 19.5 six lug rims. I have been looking for all brands. I found a few sets plus spare tires on a couple of old Chevy bread trucks but they will not sell any.

Happy hunting!
