{{Does anyone know where I could purchase wheels for my 58 WM Power Wagon. I am looking for 5 hole 16" budd. Any help would be appreciated}}
What type of wheels are you wanting? If you want to go with 16.5 inch wheels, there is supposed to be a wheel made by Budd for farm implements called the "Firestone Duplex". I didn't have much luck finding them but I thought they were 16 inch and there was no listing. If I had looked for the right size, I might have had better luck.
Stockton Wheel can sell you a tubeless rim for $155 each plus shipping. I had looked for combat wheels as I don't care for split rims and have been around when one blew.
I finally found a set of wheels in W. Va. that were modified. They have the original center removed and welded into 16.5 rims for a bobcat loader. The problem with 16.5 wheels is the scarcity of affordable tires for them. 16's are plentiful.
