I’m looking to replace the split rim wheels on my 1948 b1d. Does anyone have knowledge of what I can use. What is on the truck now are 16”  6 lug

First, the are NOT split rim wheels but rather lock ring rims. Any decent truck tire shop can service them.

Stockton wheel makes a safety rim replacement, but they are pricey.  The 16" 6 lug is correct rim for that truck.

Hey welcome Tony ?
Why do you want to change them?

i won’t be able to give an absolute recommendation without seeing photos of your truck first ?

I had two tires removed from the wheels and they were rusted through.   So they need to be replaced, and I thought it would be easier to replace the lock rings with a standard wheels. I will try to post a photo of the truck.

There is Nothing wrong with the factory rims as long as the side rings  or rims are not bent or damaged in any way...

or excessively rusty.

Then finding a "real tire wheel guy" who will service those wheels.

They are totally a good and safe wheel if in good condition and services by a competent person.

I do my own. Simple to do but must be chained up/ or done in a tire cage.

They are also IMO a great looking six hand hole wheel.
