with all those nuts hold the 2 peices of the rim together i would guess its an aluminum rim, i know the tyre size is 11.25 x 20 but could you get away with 12.00 x 20 - this size was used on Saladin armoured cars and late Saracen APC and they had aluminum rims as well. not to hard to find here in the UK. All depends on the ply rating of the originals.

Default Tyre size

I think these are 14.00-20 as used on the AEC Matador.

Keith could be on to something,
Matador used 10.00 x 20 Rims, with 14.00- 20 tyres, steel and very heavy I would say.
What a fabulous trailer, great little (well, you know what I mean) project.
Rich.

in that case then 14.00 x 20 are fitted to Alvis Stalwarts with ally wheels.

Not Matador wheels (not dished enough), and not Staghound either (wrong offset of centre) which also used 14.00-20.

Perhaps Scammell?
