Non lock-ring steel wheels

Anybody have a set of original IH steel wheels of the non lock ring style? I sure would love to find a set.

Re: Non lock-ring steel wheels

Would those be the ones with the 6 on 7 1/4 bolt spacing? Non locks would be a Half size I believe, something like 16.5 or 17.5 There is an outfit that can make you some. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=699

Have you tried to Google them by size? Use the width & # of bolt holes too for more defined results.

Im looking for factory steel wheels to accept the metro hubcaps. It looks like AKH might have them in a 17.5 but that size tire is outrageous $$$ and after talking with the guys there I don't know if I trust dealing with them. They gave me two vastly different prices on the wheels both times I contacted them to ask about them. Seemed shady to me.
