1935 C-30 20" split rims

Guys I need some help last week I was putting a tire on a rim and it came apart on me. Luckily no one was hurt but the rim has seen better day. It is the one with a 5" width I have seen other with a wider width but know 5". I live in New Richmond Wisconsin and have been to 3 salvage yards with no luck finding one if any one out there knows where I might find one in the area I would greatly appreciate the help pm me or continue on this topic I will check back often Thanks.

Re: 1935 C-30 20" split rims

Yeah, the narrow width rims are hard to find. Anything below 6" is going to be old and hard to find. Are yours split across the rim at the valve stem hole, with a solid ring? Those can be tricky to get assembled correctly, but if you do get them together, mounting them on a hub prior to filling can help hold them in the correct alignment.
Also I can't stress enough the need to clean and inspect ALL rims prior to re assembly, Once they have air in them above 15-20PSI is no time to find out they will not stay together. There is a whole lot of stored energy in a truck tire, regardless of what type.
