I called Stockton. They said that they WILL NOT make 5 lug "Bud" type wheels.

I don't think Rickson will do it either. I called http://www.wheelsnowinc.com/index.html

They said they would make wheels. They would be around $350 each but they would be brand new. I think they said they would do 22.5" wheels for around that price. They also told me that they might give us a 10% or so break if a bunch of us got together and bought maybe 100 wheels....

I did not know about the above company when I bought my 20" wheels. I would have probably got them just to be able to use tubeless 19.5 or 22.5" tires.

Les Schwab got my 20 inch wheels from American Wheel.... They take old wheels and rebuild them http://www.macraesbluebook.com/Search/company.cfm?company=775881

Les Schwab then sends them to Prineville and for an additional $25, sandblasts and powder-coats them in a color of your choice. They did not charge me any shipping.

The wheels were $199 + $25. Then they sold me 2 new 9.00-20 TOYO radials for the front and 4 recapped Goodyear radials for the back + tubes, flaps & mounting.

The total was around $2800.

Big trucks cost big bucks.
