to sell used 2 at a time and what would possibly be the cost for used

I realize this will sound like a smart A$$. The chances are great that you will find two used ones. Will they pass muster is the harder question. and how long will it take to find 7 so you have a spare.
And when you do find them will they be true, or round or rusty, or whatever. if you have to blast them and powder coat or paint them thats an additional hassle and cost. These will be used wheels possibly
from the 70s or 80s. If you find two used ones and pay to ship them and they turn out to be crap, that's a lot of wasted effort and money.
Is a seller of a used wheel for say 20 bucks going to accurately measure the backspacing and hub bore for you with a micrometer if they have one?

I scoured craigslist for the better part of a year and a half covering 20 states I normally visit and did not come up with any that looked decent enough even through the pictures to
want to see them or to even make an offer.

Honestly your best bet would be buy two at a time or whatever new. Southwest wheel should be in business a while longer yet, and pick up the rest as you can afford to.

Just my .02 from having been in that very situation.
