Ok it's not a car but it is an old trailer and it carries old cars Can any one identify this trailer, wheels and hubs. All i know is its a wessex and i want to change the tyres and buy a spare wheel but wessex have said the wheels / hubs aren't theirs. A picture for your time

The wheels and tyres look like they're off a forklift.

Hi, forklift's that use that size of wheel/tyre are usually solid rubber. On these wheels the tyres are pneumatic. One set of nuts are to hold the two halves of the wheel together, the other set are to bolt it to the hub. They look like industrial combinations so bearings and seals should be standard/off the shelf from a bearing supplier. So try some where that does plant maintainace for wheels, and try a tyre dealer that does industrial and commercial for the tyres.

I'm not entirely sure you should be going anywhere near a road, or at any speed with those on as stated, they're forklift wheels and tyres, and as such are rated to about 15mph. i bet vosa would have a few interesting things to say if they caught you with em on a trailer on the road.

I'd also say they are probably not road tyres. I had a trailer with wheels like that but with 9" rims rather than 8". I scrapped the axles as I couldn't find any brake components to suit them but kept the wheels. They are high speed trailer tyres. Not sure if the PCD is the same but they certainly look pretty similar. Dunno if these would be any use to you?

Cheers folks,
Ive had the wheel and hub off and the wheels are a 6 x 5inch fitment and they clearly say forklift on the side. Unfortunately there is no hub adapter.
Looks like its a trip down to the local trailer dealer to see if there are any hubs i can get to fit
