Looking for a source for stock rims. Want to have another set of 16" rims to put street tires on. Thanks for any help! Tod

 

Check with any good tire store. They should be able to order rims for you.

 

Well still no luck with finding stock steel rims. I have tried the local shops,scrap yards and dealers with no luck. The only thing that seems available are these new aluminum rims that cost an arm and a leg each and I need 6. Its just for a working truck. Thanks Tod

 

Only as a last resort would I buy a rim for anything from a junk/wrecking yard.

We run a big tire shop; and, whenever someone brings in a replacement rim that has came from a junk-yard, 19 times of 20, that rim is warped worse than the one they are trying to replace.

Reason being : If the rims didn't get warped in a wreck bad enough to send the vehicle to the junk-yard in the first place, then the wrecker that has to scoot the vehicle sideways up an incline will warp them, then over and over and over, the employees at the junk-yard will shove the vehicle sideways with a fork-loader to make room for accessing another vehicle.

If a vehicle is in decent enough shape to be sold for rebuilding, then the wheels on it ARE NOT FOR SALE, and any good ones on any other vehicle around the yard have already been swapped onto the sellable vehicle.



All of that being said, I have always been able to get brand-new steel DRW rims, with no trouble, from several different sources.

Surely, there is a tire wholesaler close to you that can source these rims.

Expect to pay at least $85 each for new "generic" ones.

In my experience, the generic ones are identicle to the originals, except that the valve-stem hole is drilled 1/2", instead of the older style 5/8"; an easy fix with a 5/8 reamer, or just use the smaller 1/2" stem grommets.

 

GAGUNNY the last wheels I bought I got thru a gooseneck dealer. He had a couple of sources. I think $75 plus tax each. He knew what I needed and exactly where to call, two days later he had them on the floor. I think they may be a little heavier than the factory ones. Good luck on finding some.

 

I can get them but only the four hole (3500 C&C) style. Where do you get the 5 hole (OEM) wheels?
