    I am looking to convert my front wheels to floaters. I found a pair of 425s that are a good price but need some rims. I priced new ones for $350 steel and $385 aluminum. This is alittle more than I would like to spend. Does any one know of any truck salvage yards or other places to buy used truck parts, preferably in the midwest. Thanks.

    You might be able to see if a smaller shop would offer a trade in for the wheel.. but most dont.. it would be wise of you to keep one with you and maybe one at home for spares. Some of those curbs just pop up out of no where.. and wheels at my shop for normal 22.5 ate $125 plus CA tax.
