Bought two of the 19" wheels. Recently sand blasted and they look clean. Straight? Don't know yet. $15 each. Would have quickly paid $20 each.

Not what you asked, but I paid $25 each for five good 21" unrestored wheels in near-perfect condition. I think 21" ones generally cost a little more than the 19". Might be wrong.

I bought two 19" rims for $35 each in average condition at a local Swap Meet.

I also bought five nicely painted wheels with good useable tires for $350 or $70 each. I was going to offer $300 but the lady selling them told us she was selling them for a widow who recently lost her husband, so my wife said "give her the $350."

Several months later, we saw her at a local Model A club we visited and my wife said "you're the lady who sold us the five wheels and tires". A guy standing nearby said those were the wheels and tires I took off my car when I went to 16" wheels and tires. As we walked away, my wife said "she lied to us." Lesson learned about buying stuff at Swap meets.

I paid 125 for a matched set of five 19" rims.
Original paint (whats left of it).
Straight to within about 1/8", axial and radial runout.
Orange County, CA.

The price varies wildly out there, depending on the sellers' level of literacy.

Rims with a measured and good runout will be worth more.

Look at the other prices for Model A parts on Ebay. Parts are getting more expensive. I hope the cars catch up.

Look at the price of parts that have sold, not what sellers are asking. A lot of sellers are nuts.

The OP asked what 19" wheels are selling for generally, not what kind of deal you got. I don't think anyone here would consider selling good ones for less than $50. They might not pay that though. I think if someone is looking for them that is very reasonable, maybe even $100 ea if they are really nice.
