What you are measuring is not tire or rim size just across the outer rim diameter - for tire size it's across the center hole of the tire from bead to bead - so your rim's are 15" and $150.00 and up is about normal cost for a new rim

The tires, FYI, are 235/75R15s, I believe that’s slightly larger than factory if I’m remembering right, would those fit the spare tire carrier? I just noticed when taking the pictures earlier that the remaining old ones are 4 years old and have some dry rot, though the treads visually look about as deep as the new ones, should I replace those, or do you think the tire shop was right and they may still work?
Two of them had the spare mounted inside - drivers side and were donuts, third had a external rear mount and was full size
Depending on where the dry rot is and how deep, the sidewalls in the two pictures you posted I don't see any thing to be concerned about ....

The door tags on the three 4X4blazers I've owned all stated 235/75r/15 and that's what size of tires they had on.

I thought the factory size was 235/70R15?

All three of mine were 1st Gens so that may be the difference
