    Why do you want to swap? Is there an advantage?

    Cause they look cooler than the stock steel rims. I got these ones from Les Schawb for $200.

    Thanks! I like the looks of them a lot. That is a really good deal for $200. The cheapest I can find on craigslist or junkyard (car-part.com) is 400. Any other good resources or places to look? Thanks

    Go check out different tire shops. A lot of guys are trading in their "stock" HD rims when upgrading. Les Schwab, Firestone, Big O Tires, etc., usually sell them cheap cause they're used.
