There seems to be a huge abundance of Dayton type wheels available and cheap. And I know they can be serviced by most truck tire places. What needs to be done to make Daytons work in place of the RH5's? Can it be done?

Finding a different type of Kelsey or Budd wheels possibly even tubeless wheels would be a lot cheaper in the long run, hope that helps.
