I guess you have already looked in my gallery and have seen how clean they are... and they still have the BFG all terrian tires on them front and back.. 33x12.50x 16.5's on the rear and 31x10.00x 16.5's on the front..chrome valve stems.. they would need new center caps..and I would replace the lug nuts as the chrome didnt hang around long..

But the wheels new from American Racing wheels were $180 each for the rears and $149 each for the fronts "not including" caps and lugs.. and I cant remember what i have in the tires when new? there still 75% tread.. you would have to look that up..

And you caught me at the right time...As this fall I'am getting ready for new paint and chrome..and then the new tires and wheels and bed cover..

Let me know...

Russ,
thanks for the reply. Those wheels look great, but I didn't know American Racing wheels still made those turbine style wheels, especially in the 16.5 size? I forgot how long you've owned them? My nephew, like all kids, doesn't have alot $$$, so he probably couldn't afford more than $150-$200 total for a set of good used turbine style wheels for his old 77 F250. He doesn't need the tires, just the wheels. But anyway, if you or someone you know, has those turbine wheels and could let go of them for $200 or less, let me know.
Thanks again Russ.
