You're in good company looking for replacement rims of this size. There are a lot of guys in the same boat. Your 5 bolt x 8 inch circle rims were used by Ford, IH, Studebaker, Dodge motorhomes, and no doubt many others for a lot of years. Both Budd and Accuride made one piece tubeless rims with this bolt pattern up into the late 70s or early 80s, but to my understanding no one makes them today. They were made in 19.5 and 22.5 sizes. The best sources I know of for used wheels are Stockton Wheel in CA, and Chuck's Trucks in CT. You can Google their names for their respective web sites. Good luck. Stu
