Aluminum or Alloy Rims ever better than scrap ?

[Bear]

I know this one's dusty and dirty, but it's been sitting on back of a very old antique Ford flatbed (likely 30s to 40s) not far from an old Mustang (probly an early-mid 60s) for who knows how long. I've seen this type before, but not exactly sure where or when

It's funny because I have that EXACT same rim which came with my 95 town car presidential in the trunk, I believe it's from a early 90s town car/ ford rim but don't quote me

That is an oldie but a goodie. We are a wheel remanufacturing company. That wheel is a Hollander number 1157. For being a 1980-1991 wheel, it still sells a fair amount!

Thanks so much! WB I was hoping to get a word from a pro.

Thanks again WB! I hope you'll register as a buyer and hang around, I think you'd find a lot of wheels go through here. With the info you gave I looked those ones up, they're asking $135 each on one site I looked at. I'll list this pair on CL as is, old tires and all ; )

In the past I have sold rims to shops that refurbished them. I had a buyer in Denver and have since lost contact. Avg price was double that of scrap. My last scrap on Alm wheels was .71/lb at all recycling.

I scrapped em after no bites on CL and no nearby buyers, got about half what buyers offered. Didn't think about it until later, but they probly would have fit my Ranger
