C20 17.5" rims
 
1966 C20 Camper Special rims. 8 lug. 17.5x6. Set of 5. Good condition overall. Straight and balanced. Need to a few hub cap spring clips and fresh paint. Currently with excellent 8R 17.5 Bridgestone tires. I don't need them but they are too rare to scrap. Have been in corner of my garage since 2007. In constant use prior to that. With or without the tires.
Must have for C20 or K20 restoration. Photos on request.

Any idea on price plus shipping cost to Wi ?

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Will work on a quote. Rims only?

Had dog dish hubcaps. I believe some caps had the centers cut out to clear the hubs. Skinny tires by today's standards. Have seen photos of 4x4s with military style tire tread. Should go to a serious restorer. Mine's a driver with an updated power train.

Also interested if 60-66 backs out. These would go good on my 64 k20, to replace the ugly wagon wheels put on by the po.

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Im more interested in the tires

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
That actually works pretty well. I would like the wheels, I can get new tires locally. What is total cost including shipping for wheels to Nicholasville Ky 40356? Thank you,

Sorry B Sharp. Was swamped at work with deadlines. Will look into a quote this weekend and get back to you.

B SHarp

The quote to ship to KY is high, probably more than the rims are worth.

Lynden Transport wants $305 for rims alone.

i got a 63 c20. i already have one rim all i need is 3. have been looking for a year. found none or they were to far gone to restore.

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Well, at 305 for shipping I will have to pass to the next guy in line. I wish you were closer. I could really use these wheels on my '64 K20. I hate the wagon wheels on it right now. Thanks for checking.

akbat 03-09-2014 03:46 AM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
I'm going to remove the tires. I want the rims to go to someone who needs them for a restoration project. They are pretty rare. Not interested in a trade.
I will give the rims to anyone who is willing to pay the shipping. You may do better than the shipping quote I got from Lynden Transport. Free rims for a worthy project. All five or none.

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Possibly interested. Anybody know what one of these bare wheels weighs (for shipping calculations)?

akbat 03-09-2014 01:06 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
My bathroom scale says 29.2 lbs. add a couple lbs for a box.

Think you'll be able to find some right sized boxes? With that weight, I'll try to get a shipping estimate on rim size, plus a few inches all directions. I wonder if a box is a must?

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
On the box.... Thought id try a local tire deal who sells a lot of rims. Your shipper may be the best source on whether or not a box is required. Ak zip is 99501

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
try greyhound they might be cheaper to ship .

b.sharp 03-10-2014 01:05 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Umm, I might be able to beat the original price quote for shipping through my company. I am checking now to see what it would cost if you dropped them off at a shipper like fed-ex or UPS. I'll keep you posted.

akbat 03-17-2014 12:20 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
OK Looks like there are no takers. Going to give this a few days then remove the post and make other plans.

oem4me 03-17-2014 04:48 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Man, I'm sorry ... sleepin' at the wheel again. I inquired about a possible price break through my work and was awaiting a response, then forgot. This time I'll chase down an answer. Did you find boxes? If so I'll need HxWxD.

akbat 03-18-2014 02:32 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
No worries, oem4me

Haven't pursued boxes yet. If boxes are required, assume 19x19x10. That should be plenty. I'll make them if I have to. Raw wheel weight is 29.2 lbs.

oem4me 03-18-2014 04:23 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Shipping issues are uncertain right now, so I'm going to pass. Heck of an offer though, Thank you!

b.sharp 03-20-2014 10:47 AM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
Sorry, I too checked on shipping and just do not have the extra funds to have them shipped. I would love to have them for my '64 but again, can't swing the extra funds right now. Thanks for the generous offer to pass them on. It seems everything I need for my truck in on the opposite side of the US from where I need it. Maybe I should just fly to Cali or Texas and buy a truck and drive it home, LOL...

akbat 03-20-2014 04:17 PM

Re: C20 17.5" rims
 
OK No harm done. Good luck
