lookign for "economy" replacements, hopefully take-offs froma junkyard

I basically answered your question in my previous reply. I've looked into replacing the split rims on my 1970 M300 and the only place that seemed to be able to help me was a trailer supply house here in Fairbanks, Alaska. i couldn't find a web site for them but I can get you their number is you want to talk to them.
The few junkyard rims I found would cost almost as much as I was quoted for new rims. (Within $5.00 each)
If you do replace your split rims, would you be interested in selling one of them? I may stay with my splits and would need a spare if I do.
I'm turning on Email notifications in case your respond to this post.
P.S. I almost forgot to mention: In case you're considering it, I'd stay away from junkyard take-off's for tires. They're hard to find and, even if they have enough tread, they're probably too old to reuse. If you still want to try them, I'd decode the manufacturing date and pass on any that are more than seven year old. (I just threw away what appears to be a perfectly good tire because it's twelve years old, even though it's obviously never been used.)
