I'm looking at ~$100 per wheel new, I'd *assume* a chicaoland junkyard would have used ones for less, but i'm having a time trying to find what years/makes will swap out. basically what will fit on an 8 lug 6.5" circle

i'm interested in selling them all actaully 7 split rims (mounted) and one single wheel (mounted)..unless i keep that one for *my* spare ;)

yeah i want to go with all new rubber, but the cost of new rubber AND new wheels is 50%+ of what i paid for the whole RV :)
Six Roblees quoted me $79.00 each for new steel "Ford" solid rims that will fit my motorhome and take a LT235/85R16 tire. I think the price for "Dodge" rims (LT215/85R16) was the same.
In either case, you're going to have to change the speedo gear. If you decide to tackle that yourself, contact me and I'll walk your through it, with pictures. (It's not difficult, just involves crawling under the vehicle and getting greasy.)
