Mac,
I can't really establish the value of your chrome wheels, but maybe this will help. I took me a year to collect the first five usable steel wheels. It took another seven months to collect the next seven. If one is in rust country, be ready for any old wheels to be ugly.
I paid 30~35$ for each and all need paint at least.
I found a company that will blast and powder coat for ~30$ each.
That puts me at ~65+ expenses.
Some (not me - they had a problem) have reported successfully ordering new white steel wheels from Southwest. Current cost would be ~700$ for 6 including shipping.
If I still had the resources to buy alloy from JimK, I wouldn't even consider steel, but these still may be interesting to people looking to change to 16", but not looking for a 200+$ spare wheel.
