i have had 2 different pair, one came with some 15x7s. i had that set for a few years, never got to run them on anything, just part of my collection. after somebody broke into my storage trailer and stole 24 wheels (all the 8 1/2" & 10"s), i decided to sell them. i got $600 for the set of four. 2 years ago, i was looking on CL, and came across a set of "old mags", and bought the NICEST set of used wheels i've ever bought. 15x4 and 15x10, chevy pattern for $550. they were on an '88 monte carlo, and had supposedly been bought and stored for 30 years before being used. i sold the front tires for $100, so i'm really into them for $450.
funny how that deal went....didn't American own weld about 10 or 15 years ago? I remember talking to zeiber about doing some new "old" skinny 5 spokes...and heard "there isn't a market for them" and we sell these new tt2 skinnys now.....
I just received my repo 15x4 rough cast wheels. Pretty happy with them. They don't have as rough of cast spokes at the early ones. Also, they are set up for the stupid accorn lugs. I had George Johnson from Continental Machine in Rockford, IL Machine them for the traditional shank lug nuts. Give him a call. He's a nice guy and has lots of hot rods to boot including a gasser henry J! I think I'm going to sell my 15x8.5 chevy NOS rears so I can get matching for my new fronts. Probably for 400+60 shipping.

I picked up a first run 15x4 200s wheel about 15 years ago at the English Town swap me for $20.00 The guy only had one. It took me 5 years to get the match. I found it on e-bay I paid $368.00 for that one wheel. So I have $398.00 in the set. What a find. I have a set of 15x10's with the step in the center. I would like to find the 15x10's without the step in the center. ( the deep set )
In case anyone on this thread is interested, I am selling the Ford pattern 15x4 200s wheels I first posted about in this thread. Decided to go Cragar S/S on this build instead (I know, I know). http://jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8915970#post8915970
