Does anyone coming to the Borregofest have any early 16" Jeep wheels lying around? I'd like to see if they are the same size as the wheels on my '47 Kit Teardrop trailer. According to the Kit history information on the Internet they used surplus Jeep wheels since they were readily available after the war. They are 5 lug and either 4 1/2 or 5 inch wide rims. The tire size is 6.00x16. The wheels do look very similar to pictures of Jeep wheels I've seen on the web. If they are the right size I'd be interested in buying one to use for a spare.
Here are a couple of pictures posted from another site that were scarfed when the trailer was for sale on eBay by the previous owner. I'll have to post a better picture of the wheel.
