I picked up a 16x7 old horse trailer frame/axle/wheels for $150 but I am looking for a source for new split rims or an easy way to convert them to a regular type rim..anyone know of a source or links?

What is the bolt pattern on the wheel and the hub size?You can buy new wheels with out the lock ring on it.I am a tire tech up in washington and my opinion is to throw those wheels away and buy tubeless type wheels.

I figured out they are not called split rims but Lo-Boy rims, here is a picture of what I have. http://www.greenball.com/wheels/mobilehomerim.htm

Those are mobile home tires and axles. Not really a way to convert them to a standard lug pattern that I know of.

He can't balance them though because of the type of rim, I assume it shouldn't be much of a big deal though.
