Wheel Rim Help

[cmkruse]

Forum Guru's and all interested parties - at least those with a rim stash.

I have one rim and need to find a match. The specs are as follows

15 inch
5 1/2 width
6 lug
6 clips on raised areas
4 slots around perimeter
smooth center curve - no step or double center curve

I've been looking for a couple of years and haven't found one yet.

Here's a link to some pictures of the rim.

Any help / leads appreciated.

I'm headed down to my in-laws' farm next weekend. I remember coming across a few 15" wheels while I was searching for a 16". I'll see what I can dig up.

I Appreciate the help

Like I said anything would be appreciated after several years of looking this is my last go round for this wheel before I look for a different solution.

Vintage Wheels

Some time ago (years ?) I posted about a guy near Mojave , Ca. who has a boatload of old wheels & sells them affordably .

I don't know where this post is but you should be able to find it .

Take good well lit pix of what you need & post 'em here and in any communication to anyone you ask ~ have a high contrast tape measure lain across the rim to show exactly what it is you're looking for .

Thanks Nate, I'll see if I can find the post. I don't know how to put photos on the forum so I linked the original post to the photobucket site where I put some photo's of the rim and the tape as you suggest. If the link isn't working please let me know. and Thanks again.

Well, I spent the weekend down on the farm, but all of the 6-lug rims I found were 16-inchers. I'll keep an eye out for one, though.

FarmTruck, thanks for looking. Maybe someday I'll find a match. I appreciate the effort.

Thanks

cmkruse, I was down at the Pomona swap this weekend and I saw quite a few sets of 15" with the smooth center. As a matter of fact I was in your same boat. I had a set of three 15" and needed one more. Took me while to get the fourth as no one wants to break up a set. From why I know they are car rims. Trucks only had three clips. I plan on going back to Pomona in October, could arrange something with you if you'd like. Do you want a 5th for a spare tire?

A tough 60 year old rim to find that is not bent or rusted.

We gotcha covered on a nice one that matches your specs.

You didn't indicate if you needed the square inside offset or the angled inside offset.

Shoot us a PM for more info.if the pictures match your rims.

RGMJ00, Thanks for the response. It looks like Dead Zone Trucking might have me covered. I'll post back if it doesn't work out. Thanks for keeping me in mind. You forum guys are a life (truck) saver!

Slam Dunk

Thanks everyone for helping out with the Rim. DZT found one and I placed an order so I'm all set for now. I really appreciate eveyone on the forum giving me a hand. It's one more hurdle to getting ole Betsy back on the road.
THANKS TO ALL YOU GUYS
