How much should you expect to pay for an orignal set of painted 5-spoke rims for a '70 Chevelle. Excluding the trim rings and center caps?
If the rims are straight what's the going rate for bead blasting per rim?
After all is said and done, does it make more sense to buy a set of repros?
Does anyone have a set for sale?
THANKS

IMO,$200 complete with rings/centers.
$250 tops if I had to have them.

I just had my SS wheels sandblasted for $10 a piece. They came out very nice. The stencil kit saved me a lot of time with the painting process.

If your doing a full up show car restoration, the aftermarket wheels are not the original factory color. The spokes should be charcoal grey not black.

They generally go for $35 each at swap meets without center caps and trim rings.
