I've only seen one set sell. How do you get an average with one data point??

LOL

Patience pays off! Haha. I think I had two bites on Craigslist, and zero on ebay,and zero on here (until they finally sold). It's a tough market for them, you just have to happen to catch someone at the right time. Good luck with the sale!

the fronts should be an easier sell than the rear simply due to the offset. The front isn't changing where the pressure on the bearings compared to the rear. here's some pics of a OE dually front hub and a Arrowcraft adapter

the rears otoh, aren't as good of an idea due to the lack of material in keeping the wheel centered on the hub. if you are not towing heavy, you can compensate by using a centramatic wheel balancer system. check out this thread....https://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?73850-what-are-these-between-my-duals.
Under no circumstances should one consider using one of these as a spacer BETWEEN dualls. it is not what they are designed to do and is not legal. why? the rotational forces of the wheel will shear off the studs on the hub. A simple analogy is using a breaker bar. With no breaker bar, the force is what you put into the effort. with a 2 foot breaker bar, your force is now multiplied by a factor of 2. 10lb of effort, 20lb of force. These wheels easily weigh 100 lbs static, we're not even going to try to factor the spinning weight, but you should be able to use your imagination if you add a spacer.

Thanks for turning me onto these. I'll likely need adapters for the front if I get the dually parts pickup I need. The biggest trouble is that I live in Montana and you're in Maryland.

If you are interested, I think I can knock the studs out and they would probably go in a flat rate box or 3. Just tossing that out there.

The rims of course not so much.

I wasn't really wanting to split them up. Hell, I've even kicked around keeping them. Let me think about it.

@towcat Is there any value to the OEM 2wd front adapters ? There is a pair at my local. salvage yard, wondering if I should grab them.

Sorry for the hi-jack
