Any value in stock wheels? (1 Viewer)

[DCAlbarran]

Hello all. I am trying to budget for my disc brake conversion for my '63 build FJ45, and I am fairly certain I am not going to be able to fit my current wheels with the new assemblies. Whats the going rate for these as a set of 5 with the tires? These are the best pictures I have of he wheels.

I need to know how much money I need to start hiding from my wife. Thanks.

Beautiful truck. Are those riveted wheels or welded? I can't tell by the photos. Welded wheels should fit with stock front discs. What are you going to do for discs?

At any rate, I think stock welded wheels are still available new from the dealer for about $100 per wheel, so judge from there. Riveted wheels are less useful, so less valuable.

yeap almost no valve in riveted wheels regardless of condition.

Thanks. Off the top of my head, I want to say they are welded, but the truck is at home and I am at work. I think the setup is GM, but I am not certain. It's not a stock FJ40 disc setup. I am drooling over a set of SCS F5's on my truck in otherwise mostly stock condition, but not sure if its a need or just a want for right now.

you are not going to find a better looking set of wheels, than you already have.

I don't agree. Riveted wheels are fine if not rusted badly for drum brake applications. I have all 5 of my original riveted wheels, not a thing wrong with them. Some people who are trying to maintain originality occasionally look for them.

i didn't say there was anything wrong with them, just that they are not worth much.

Ugh, I know I have had those thoughts too. But I think she'll also look good whenever I see this build!

Seems like they would make good donors for making widened stock wheels.

I need some mid 60's wheels for my resto with drum brakes, so if they're the original '63 wheels, pm me please.

I am a few months off, but if/when I get there, I'll let you know.

Yeah, I was second in line to bring that beauty home, but Florida guy came through. Good for him!
