22.5'' Alum. Wheel Blanks from Ebay

[phantom309]

Hello Folks of the Heavy Haulers forum
Alright recently I was given a 1969 chevy c50 with a 292 and a 4 speed
it has the T150 2 speed rear, runs and drives awesome but...
this truck has had many years of sitting, the tires are pretty bad from the AZ sun as well as being recaps they are pretty rotten it also has brake issues (typical)

knowing that these trucks wheels are pretty scarce I set out to find my self a solution to the issue after exstensive searches on here and other sights i wasnt finding much

a couple of the ideas I came up with were:
#1 find a set of wheels from a bigger truck and have them redrilled to the 10 on 8.75 pattern (problem being: most of those rims have a huge center bore and the C50 pattern would interfere with that)
#2 was to locate a set of wheels for a ford F450 or F550 they use a 10 lug pattern that is only 1/8" bigger... (problem with these is the center bore is a half inch bigger and they come in 19.5 only (you cant really get a very tall tire on a 19.5 rim)
#3 have wheel adapters made to adapt the big 10 lug (10 on 11.25) to my hubs, this could work and very nicely but that would be pretty spendy
at least thats what my local machin shop said...
#4 is the most important one and the one I'll go with:
looking on Ebay under wheel Blanks I found a tiwain company that sells wheels that are completely solid aluminum (forged) and have an 80MM center hole, they come in a 22.5x12.25 or a 22.5x8.25 PERFECT!!!
the 8.25's sell for 209.00 a wheel
the 12.25s sell for 230.00 a wheel

For a guy on a budget (me) thats pretty awesome I plan to buy 2 of each and run super singles on my 69 i plan to make it a pickup and I think running a super single on the rear will look pretty cool.

I am planning to run a 445/65r22.5 out back and a 285/65R22.5 on the front
i want a taller tire in the rear to help with top speed.

Now as far as machine work goes thats the question that I have.
What would be a decent price to have 4 of these wheel blanks drilled to my lug pattern and center bore?

My other concern is brake parts for that axle I know it needs wheel cylinders and pads in the rear anyone have a source for these?
