After almost year and a half, (a couple months ago) I came across a pair of 8" steel wheels worthy for the Westerner. The tread is perfect and the wheels have the original white walls. Probably a 9.5 on a scale of 10.
@Troy This is dedicated to The Meat Ninja....The Westerner has new (old) shoes......

Now it looks happy !!!!
New shoes for the Westerner! I was actually quite fond of those plastic wheels 8)
Nice new shoes there! Beautiful grills!
Yayyyy
Looks good!
So what are they? NOS, refurbished or something totally unrelated to the old Webers?
Looking good!
@addicted-to-smoke Off of an old 26" Weber I purchased. I already had an extra set of 8" Weber steel wheels and switched stuff around. These 8" wheels are as close to NOS as I will find. No cracking in the tread and the original white walls still look great (no touch up).

very cool pair!
Looks better with now.
Nice pair of 8"s! I'm in the process of restoring a pair for my 1969 Chief.
