I bought a 73 gmc 3/4 ton and it has 15x10 3.5 inch Bs white spoke rims on it and I need to replace one of the rims as the lug holes are totally trashed and the owner put washers on them and then the nut from moving around over time I seen every lug is about 75% wore through wich thankfully didn't snap off while I was driving, anyone know where I could find one of these? summit racing doesn't have them in 3.5 and locally cant get them( Saskatchewan,Canada)

Have you tried your local tire shop? I got about 4 sets of those style 15x10 8 bolt,not sure of BS though & don't think any of them came from summit.

I'm sure a rim repair place could fix it.

I never thought of that or thought rims were fixable once the holes were beat up, the only concern I have is them getting the geometry right so its not offset( this picture is of one that's off the vehicle,the holes on the messed up one are pretty ovaled out to where you could probably fit the regular lug and half of a second lug thickness through, must have ran with loose nuts for a while to do that.

also the local places say they cant get anything like that in that wide in 3.5 bs,might have to look for 3.75 bs

also im thinking of replacing it with this one

http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/clm-413-5008 looks to be the same just different style

I've had rims fixed. They would weld those holes, grind them smooth, then put it on a computer controlled machine to redrill the holes perfectly centered.

By the time you pay someone to repair it,might be better to buy a new wheel.You are probably going to be at least$50.00/hour or more for any decent kind of repair shop.It's going to be close to 2 hours,maybe more for any kind of quality repair & last time I priced wagon wheels were around 100-125 a wheel.

I used to build off road mining equipment wheels and yes while yours can repaired I would not rework the wheel. The value is just not there in a steel wheel.

Used wagon wheels were a dime a dozen around here when they went out style, most of them ended up on utility & boat trailers.

I feel I could locate one in a local salvage yard if I were to search

Good luck
