Any idea on where to find modern wheels?

Hi Again, Its been a month or so now and my local commercial tire place has yet to find modern steel wheels to fit my walter (best guess 1935 FBR as seen on the "A kemp walter" page). The ones they've found have a valley in the middle of the wheel that won't fit over the inner wheel assembly. I was wondering if there's some standard wheel out there that would fit. I want to do a modern wheel because I don't want to deal with tube or custom tires and I've had issues in the past with 'used' steel wheels not holding a seal.
Thanks
Mike

what size wheels are on the truck now? because you might need to bump up a size or 2 to fit over the inner assembly ie if you have 20.5s may need a22.5 or 24in wheels. just an idea Do you find this valuable?
