Best place to find used rims?

[nickwood48]

I have had a difficult time trying to find used 15x5.5" rims here in Oregon for my 78'.

I had a look at SOR, they want $70 for a used rim plus an unknown amount for shipping. The $70 doesnt bother me, but I dont want to order them up to find out shipping is an extra $30.

I am getting them blasted and powder coated so I dont need NOS stuff. I posted in the WTB forum but didnt get any hits.

I have seriously looked everywhere I could with no luck, anybody have any luck someplace else?

Thanks-

I have stock steeleis from my 67' they do have some rust on them though. Where you located?

They need to be off a rig with disk brakes, post 75' I think, based on the disk brake clearance issues.

I bought a set of 4 from cruiserparts.net. One had some serious pitting but I blasted them and did a skim coat of filler and they look great. They were 40 each + 60 to ship all 4 to ship to louisiana. I also bought 5 new hubcaps for 20.00 ea.

Try Tim at Landcruiser Specialties in Hillsboro. He's LCS on the board.
Agreed shipping is a deal killer on wheels.
At some point paying ~80ish for new ones from the dealer even begins to make more sense just cause you don't have to deal with shipping.
