TX Styled Steel Wheels, Set of 5

[SBradley]

City: Fort Worth area
Price: $ 1000

---

I have a complete set of five 15"X8" original styled steel (wagon) wheels. set. They are in excellent, original condition. I do not have the original center caps, just the wheels. Was holding on to them for a future project that is not going to happen. Shipping is not really an option since the postage would be cost-prohibitive so you'll have to arrange for local pick up. I am in the Fort Worth area. I will not break up the set.

These aren't original to Early Broncos. Would likely be a lot more interest in these on the 78/79 Bronco boards and facebook groups.

Justino,

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes, I am aware these were only optional in 78 & 79, but I have seen interest in these here in the past so I thought I'd give my EB bro's first crack at them. Thanks again.

Did you see the nearly NOS ones 904Bronco bought a year or so ago? Awesome score.

Just curious, what makes these worth so much? I have a set of 4 15x8 Ford wagon wheels with all 4 center caps (I assumed from the 80s). I really don't have a use for them and would be looking to sell.

Very difficult to find factory rims for 78/79 Broncos.

They are very well made I love the look of them on the right bronco early or 78/79 also for dent side pickups.

Right very well-made and very heavy back in the day I had lots of them 15 x7 and 15 x8

What's the difference between those and the wagon wheels you get from the local tire shop for $40?

I'm guessing gennie vs aftermarket.

Just for some added information and clarification, aside from being OE and being very difficult to find, the primary benefit of these wheels is the construction. Those $40 parts store wagon wheels are, by comparison, flimsy. They are typically only thick enough to meet minimum DOT standards. As you can see in the photos, the flanges on these wheels are over 1/3" thick. For comparison, I've included the photos showing the flange thickness measurement for the common, Ford 8-spoke truck wheel.

Those and the Jackman’s were the classic wheel of the 70’s early 80’s
