Since these posts live on much longer than a link to an eBay listing, it's worth noting here that the pair of NOS 56 truck headlight rims sold for $226.88, and had six different bidders fighting it out.
Boy, I know the 55 truck headlight rims are rare, too, and I'm glad I decided just to paint my badly pitted ones.

That was a pair, so each cost around $114 each. Given the scarcity, and the condition of most of the used '55 and '56 rims (usually cracked, and quite pitted), is the cost that far out of line?

Quality restoration and show replating would probably be at least twice that cost but, keep in mind, show quality is a lot higher than original factory.Brad Johnson,

Now there are some rare 1955 truck headlight rims on eBay. With four days remaining, they are already up to $78.
I guess I'll stick with my badly pitted ones that I had to sand and paint. They'll still look good.
