Who is a good source for regular 14" steel rims. Not the spoke type. Thanks.

Not sure what you're looking for and I don't see wheels on the web site but it might pay to call:

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Thanks all. Looking for some plane auto type steel wheels in 14x5. Most of what I 've seen are the spoke type like HF or NT uses.

Go down to your local tire store. Everywhere that I've lived they've had plenty of spares.

Or go to a salvage yard. You'll need to know your bolt pattern dimensions.

If you measure hole to hole don't try to find the centers. Measure from one side of one hole to the same side of the adjoining hole...same dimension as measuring centers but it's fixed.

Have you looked a temporary spares? Pretty cheap at scrap yards, then pick whatever hub caps you like.

I have a pair temporary spares (15x6, 5 on 4.5") from a Jeep Cherokee that I'm holding on to for a trailer build.
