WTD: "Big-6" wheels in TEXAS / OKLA

[68binder]

Title seems pretty clear, but just in case, I am looking for some* steel wheels from a pre-1969 ihc 3/4t pickup. The bolt circle is 6 on 7.25 and the hub circle is 5.625.

The perfect wheels are already set up for tubeless radials. What I expect to hear about are the split-rims. Either way, I would like to get some*

because shipping steel wheels is stupid spendy, I'm asking for wheels only within roughly 4 hours drive from dallas, so tulsa, abilene, austin, shreveport, general circle. We don't mind the drive to meet new friends and sightsee. Farther's an option too.

Now, about the asterisk: "some," in this case, means I'd like to ultimately have 6, but if you only have 1 or two, that's a-ok, especially if they're free. I'm going to take a shot at converting the centers to new rims, and if that fails horribly, I want to send 4 to stockton to be done properly. So...

Please let me know what you have, and all leads & sage wisdom are welcome.

I just called stockton (3 hours away from me) about converting big 6 split rims and they are about $185-$200 + each depending on how wide you go.

I have (3) travelalls. One came with the big 6 17.5" non-split rims which are very rare and really nice except that the tires available for the 17.5" rim are few. The best tire for the 17.5" rims are probably the toyo m608 at $290 each so I hear ya! Damn 6 lugs! Good luck with this.

Your referring to the ring type rims,I thought the 2 piece rims are slip rims,ring type are easyier to work with and not so dangerous,

Two words for the exact same rim. Call them crayola for all I care, the important thing is that it have 6 on 7.25 bc. They're going to get cut and turned into regular steelies.

Yeah, there's also a 19.5 non-split with the big-6 pattern, and I just missed out on a pair of them on ebay. Also, if you aren't running dog dishes, there's an old kaiser with the same bolt circle but there's no hub circle, it's a dome to cover the axle end.

And there's m715, and flat-plate...but I want to run dog dishes like original.
