They're also called Budd wheels. I have them, too, saw the rims for sale new some place, but that's all I remember seeing.

I know, that's real helpful, huh? :flipoff2:

Bud wheels are disc wheels like on a dually pickup. The wheels the don't have a center on the wheel, it's part of the hub, are california wheels. Even though it's more of a North East thing for big rigs.

One of my trailers has those 14.5's, and I got tires for it at Farm & Fleet here in IL. You can get take-offs at the local trailer court, but they supposedly don't last long, so I went for new ones. They called them Lo-Boy tires, and they were meant for hauling relatively heavy loads, but I forget the weight rating. If I remember right, they were ~$80 each a couple years ago. Mine aren't split rims either.

Budds are a one-piece, non-split rim, deep dish shaped wheel like duallys and semis use.
