thanks Stu.
I got lucky I guess.
Do you know if the tires are tubless?Or Can I get tubless tires for them?
BTW My uncle has 2 international trucks with the same style wheels if anyone is interested I could take a look at them,The truck might get scrapped so I will save the wheels if they do.

Tube type. The only tubeless tires will be those in the 1/2" sizes, i.e. 17.5", 19.5", and 22.5". Any even inch size on the big trucks will be tube type. IH trucks seem to have been much less exposed to the widow maker rims than Ford and Chevy. IHs are good sources of replacement wheels. Stu

Those lockrings look to be in pretty decent shape. (at least not super rusty from the outside)
If you can save them from going to China good for ya, but seems those lockrings are hard to sell and expensive to ship? may be different in different area's ?
now if those other trucks have 22.5" wheels for sure save them, I stopped by the local tear apart here today on my lunch and rolled out 1 5 lug 22.5" tubeless wheel. cost me $24 it was on a 58 Ford the other 5 were lockrings so didn't bother.
