Re: Wheels for sale
George, those look as good as a car going by in a parade. What you are showing is a bunch of rims of unknown condition. Shipping tires and spokes is a total loss. I have recently processed about 200 wheels and separated each and every useable piece. About 25% of any group has unusable parts. If you post detailed closeup photos of the edge that holds or eats the tire, the potential buyer could make an informed decision. I would not pursue your listing.
Respectfully, Ken Buhler

Re: Wheels for sale
Are most of those non-demountable wheels? If so, I sure wish you/they were a lot closer to me. I would want the wood as well as a few rims, but cannot justify the cost of shipping for me.

Shipping rims is easy and cheap they go cross county for about 20 to 45 $Wayne Sheldon wrote: ↑Mon Aug 18, 2025 6:32 amAre most of those non-demountable wheels?

Re: Wheels for sale
Thank you all for the comments. But I just can't be spending for parts I don't really need. All my current projects have good wheels, plus a few extras. I have a couple projects I won't live long enough to get to that I would like to get wheels for, but I cannot justify the cost at this time.
It hurts me to see so many people trashing good original wood. I have restored so many old wood wheels over the years and had such good results from proper refitting of good original wood that I can't help but like them. Of course, if one can afford it, any of several true wheelwrights across the country do a wonderful job of properly rebuilding wooden spoke wheels, and those do give people a sense of security that old wood doesn't for most people.
