The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Need help finding stock wheels 3 I have are bad

Bought my new tires and found 3 bad wheels need help finding stock 1953 20 inch 10 lug wheels for my 4400 , 7.25 lug pattern , 4.75 center hole

I hope you have better luck than I. I wanted to replace my "widow makers" with 3 piece wheels and I've been looking for 2 years.

I picked up 6 wheels in AK, which looked decent on the outside but when it came to getting the tires off they were so badly rusted on the inside some of the tires would not dismount.

I found more in junk yards, fields, but they look bad on the outside, so I'm still at square one.
I know one thing, I'm not going to give money for a wheel until I see it with the tire off. I don't need any more large paper weights.

Are these the wheels with locking rings? I have three of them that I am not going to use on my bus. They look different from the widow makers.

This is the other style on it in the 20" that I am told are the widow maker:

The first wheel, the rusty one looks to be a three piece wheel because of the lock ring.
The blue wheel looks to be a Widow Maker, no lock ring.

I say looks to be because I'm not there to see it, and only looking at a photo, but I'd bet dinner on that blue one being a widow maker.
