I have (5) 19.5 wheels; 8 lug. I would like to know what they are worth- I would appreciate it. Thank you!

19.5 wheels are hard to find! That said, not everybody wants a set. Still, demand is greater than supply so a matched set should bring some good cash. Looking at yours, I do not recognize that shape as Chevrolet. Seems a mix of the two styles that I'm aware of made by Kelsey Hayes for Chevy. The early series KH (pre 1962?) wheels had a rounded beehive two-hump center section. Later KH series (1962-70 something?) had a single, straight cone shape. Yours are in-between. Unless I'm not seeing them right, those pictured may be a Ford or Dodge product?
Pictured below are early and late 19.5 x 5.25 KH wheels.

Thanks for the wheel education! I added some new pictures that may show better detail. They do appear to be more of a bubble than a cone configuration. I appreciate your help- thanks again!

Those new pics look pretty cone-ish to me. Maybe they are indeed the later KH variety?

I broke one wheel down and this is what I found.

I own a 59 GMC Napco and the rims look very similar . Mine are also 19.5 . There is a 17.5 version that looks almost identical . As far as value. I have seen a set of four bring $1200 to $1500 on that auctions site. Most go to the Vintage 4 wheel drive people .. I think these may have come of a GMC . The Chevy version has a different profile . If you are intested in selling them the hard part is connectiong to the buyer . Right now that auction site seems to be getting it done but then you have to deal with some crazy people , possible returns , high fees and a lot of hoops to jump thru with shipping. Regardless you have some valuable rims.

Hi all. From the picture in post no 5 that is the napco logo, from my research.
I also have a set of 5 along with 4 hub caps.
I took them off a 1967 step van. Whether or not they are original to that van, I don't know.
Have seen them go on eBay for 300 each plus shipping.

I do think what you have are napco high clearance. Same as my set.
If I don't use mine I will be asking 300 each with caps.
Hope that helps, Dan
