At this point, I have resolved myself that finding a decent rim at a reasonable price in not in the cards. As in the words of HRL, “it’s like finding hen’s teeth”.The average price for a rusty replacement rim on eBay, is close to two hundred plus shipping. For that price I can buy new rims which is what I really need to do anyway. I want to get rid of those 8” rims.

There is a good side to this issue. The existing rims are highly sought after as well as the original dog dish hub caps. There’s a high possibly can recoup the cost of the new rims and caps by selling them.

I do appreciate all the help and suggestions I have received so thank you all!
