more likely one of these type of Bofers. This is a model kit the only photo I could find in a hurry.

Default Wheels

He is talking of six-lug wheels, so a 1936 Chevy pick-up would presumably be the source? Anyone know where they might be found?

Default rims

Our Australian Short 25s also used the 6 bolt rim, the centre cut out to suit 25Pr hub.

The wheel in Bob's photo is the same as the wheels on my 1945 Chevrolet Utility (and cars and light trucks for about 10 years). The car ones had spring clips to take the hubcaps.

Toyota Landcruiser and Nissan Patrol wheels fit right on with the same bolt pattern and in fact 60's and 70's wheels of these vehicles look very similar to the Chevrolet.
