What kind of wheel is this?
Thanks you guys, I'm looking for the ones where there is no continuous ring around the spokes, plus the center thickness of these seem to be much thicker than the standard stamped steel rims sold today.
So from what I understand the were aftermarket rims of the past and not from a specific vehicle manufacture?

AFAIK Jackman was the only one who made them and that was quite awhile ago - maybe 25+ years ago? I think it will be difficult to find a set of any size, even more to find exactly what you want. Have you done a Bing or Google search?

Here's a link showing an add from way back. These wheels are from the 70's not the era of our trucks. In the little bit of reading I did some said they were bomb proof and still in use and one guy said they were prone to cracking where the spoke was welded to the rim.

bigredbrick - you have been very helpful in providing me with information that I need, in searching for a set of these wheels, it's really appreciated.
The sad part is that I had one in 8 lug and 16.5" size with a tractor tire that came with my 92' as a spare tire. At the time thinking that 16.5" and tractor tire would be of no use to me due to rare size plus I had a full set of h2's on the truck already it went in the trash after being used as a forklift jack stand.
While I know it's not that exact era of out trucks, Dodge did begin making trucks this body style since 72' with some minor changes in trim pieces it's basically the same profile.
