They need to be 5 lug(if you measure two side by side the center to center should be 4 3/4"), 5 3/4 " hub holes, outer split ring, must be 6 " wide wheels and able to hold 8.25x20 tires.
As of right now we are looking for four(4) preferably with out tires.

Below is why we need them.....
I am a firefighter with the IAFF Local 4252. We have recently purchased a 1952 Dodge Fire Engine that we will be using at our events and for a Parade Piece. We are in the process of starting a resto/conversion on it. Way back in the day our F.D. had a 1954 Dodge Fire Engine we have been looking for 5 years for it or a piece similar to it. We finally found and purchased the closest thing we have seen to this date. As of right now we are in need of three (3) split rim wheels with the split ring on the outer edge,(They need to be Rear dually wheels 8.50 by 20 wheels with outside split rings.) the engine has dual rear wheels and three(3) of the are the center split ring wheels, (no one around here will even look at them let alone work on them) and a list of parts suppliers for future needs. We need these wheels ASAP any and help is greatly appreciated.
I assume if I didn't put a link to the pics in I would be asked for one shortly so here they are, the top pics are of our 1954 Dodge the bottom ones are of the newly purchased 52.
Thanks for your time,
