How much should i expect to pay for a set of 5-spoke alloy wheels?

Mate of mine got 5 at the sort out for £125 all in good condition with a good set of ATs on

A bit more info would help as it depends on what you are after and what you are looking at spending.

New, secondhand, genuine, OE pattern, aftermarket etc.

There are so many out there that until you narrow down the field a little the cost could be from less than £50 for a set of 5 Freestyles in poor condition requiring refurbishment to over £150 each for an OE wheel.

Whatever you buy, you will also need the correct wheel-nuts because steel & alloys use different ones. Also what year is your vehicle because early 90/110's don't accept some alloys?

Jus somthing to make the wheels look atlot smarter!

the alloys won't fit if your truck still has rear drum brakes, though there is a mod you can do to the driving members to let the alloys fit, but the end cap of the driveshaft will poke through the wheels centre hole, so you won't be able to use the centre caps of the wheels. or try the Firestyle type from Nene.

Ok but how much are you looking at spending, there is a lot of difference between £10 and £150 a wheel?

If you just want to smarten it up you could paint your existing steels for a lot less than alloys will cost.

Like Western has already said, you are limited by the age of your rear axle.

Many aftermarket wheels without centre-caps will fit ok (something like my ZU's) but OE or pattern will not. Even something like the Firestyle which fits drum-braked rears will need the extended cap to clear your centres.

Of course you can fit spacers and then all types will fit but you will have to confirm that your insurer will cover you.
