[AT] OT F250 Diesel Wagon Wheel Rim?

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Start with J.C.Whitney. Check tire shops in your area. Most salvage yards
subscribe to a service that can check nationwide for specific parts
(Hollander, I think), but they may not be able to check for things like your
rim. Ask anyway. If the first one says he can't, check with several others.

>Hello;

I have an 1985 F250 that came with 8 lug wagon wheel rims. They are wide
rims with fat tires. 

One of them developed a leak. I thought it was the tires at first and
bought new tires. After finding that I still had the leak I had the rim
welded. Another leak appeared. Welded it again... Another leak appeared.
I was then told that once the rim cracked it would keep on cracking.... 

So, now I need to find another one of these rims. They are apparently
not original equipment. 

My local salvage yard did not have any and they had no idea where to
find them. 

Any suggestions would be helpful. 

Regards;

Will Powell (PA)
