As has been mentioned here many times,if you get any C or D line wheel,and cut the centre out,clean up the weld ,then you have spider rims with the taper seat..........there are many kinds of rim locks ,and at one time you used to see buckets of them about.........probably not so much now....anyhoo,if you cant find the ones you want,you can make them......The front locks ,IMHO ,should be easy to find something........the rears may be special.

Hi John
Thanks for the reply and tips, it was appreciated.
We did some searching on this forum previously and saw how others where cutting the centre out of other rims . We gave that technique a few weeks ago but unfortunately we exhausted the supply we had, as the rust had got into the rims via the valve hole and where not suitable to be used which is a shame.
Kind regards

I would think the rims off a 1940'3 K5 International would fit and probably the cleats and nuts too. There are a still a lot of K5s about as they were a popular farm truck so should be easy to track down a rim to try for size.
