21" Wheels

[Brian SATX]

I know they have some internal rust problems. I usually hold them like a steering wheel and turn to see if I can hear rust. So, what is a surface rust wheel that does not sound like it has rust in it worth nowadays. I know it is worth what you pay, but any starting price?

Last ones I bought that were going to need sandblasting and powder coating cost $20. That was at the last Big 3 Swap Meet in 2020.
I really miss that event.

Not a Model A but I recently restored some wheels for a tractor. They were really rusty. I had them sandblasted and then used some Bondo to smooth out the really rough places. After that sanded, primed, sanded, and painted.

25.-50. I believe theyre worth 2x as much as a 19. you cant find them that easy,
but also the rodders only want 16s and steelies.


would pay 75. a piece for really nice ones if I needed them. I have plenty of all sizes. so dont need any.
