I never even knew there were any aluminum Jackman type wheels made, until I found that CL ad a week or so ago. The wheels in the ad obviously need a good polish.

you are a king :big_banana_Dance:

are they still on production ?

As i am in France, it is very hard to find somebody else than the pro who accept to send big parcel.

i am expect to find 16", it is easier to find tires.

Now i know what to search.

thanks every one for the help.

They are long out of production and were only made in the 16.5 sizes, unless something has happened recently.

I'd be willing to pursue the used ones on craigslist and look into shipping for you. I know a guy that has his own little shipping business.

Bucket thanks a lot for your help, that' s very nice.

but i think 16.5" is now very hard to find (in my country) except the ugly goodyear military 36 x 12 x 16.5 (sold at the price of gold in France).

the website from where i grab the picutre said it was 16 x 8, perhaps they were also produced in this size.

actualy i am waiting the answer of a french company, that makes "on demand" wheels, if the can to the same kind, as my original goal was to find the classic triangular 8 spokes in aluminium, the one i post was the closest to what i expect.

in fact i want this in aluminium

if the price of the repro is too expensive i'll perhaps think of 16.5 wheel if they are easier to find.

I like the Goodyear Military 36's, I think they have a good classic look. They are a very out of date tire though, being designed in the late 70's. They used to be available in other sizes to, back in the 80's.

That wheel you have pictured is a common design and several companies offer that style. Most people refer to them as "chrome wagon wheel". At least around here they do.
