looking for a wheel

Does anyone have or know where I can get an 8 lug 16.5 AR-39 wheel?
These are the old black and aluminum wheels that we used to call elephant ear.I have three of these and need one more but since i believe they where discontinued several years ago buying new is not an option...

Heck, I used to see so many of them, I thought they were factory, I would jump on them myself if I had the extra cash. I have a nice of the old western slots on my truck now, but would like to get away from 16.5's sometime, but I like the looks of my old westerns also. If someone wanted to go th 16's, I don't think these will last long, somebody will snap them up. If I could help you on these LMK, I'm in Cincy, about 40min from Batesville. Originally from Louisville,Ky.

Sorry to hijack the thread...

78longbed, I would be more than happy to take those slots off your hands if you were serious about switching to 16's. I live in Hope, IN about 12 minutes from the Greensburg exit off of 74.

Sorry, I'm not ready to give them up yet. But Hey, I know you had to ask. If I could find 3 New 35"x16.5 BFG Mud terrains,at a nice price, I would be all set.

Yeah, I had to ask. I wouldn't give them up yet either. They are getting harder to find these days, especially in good shape!
