Some wheels in the dumpster at my work

[drkelly]

This did not come off a Volvo or Mack truck. I was shocked to see them during my routine dumpster checking. Are these rockwell, 2.5 ton pattern rims? They look to be 20" diameter, 11" wide, 6 lug on 8.5"? bolt circle, 2-3" backspacing.

MRW wheels? Those are aftermarket rims. Where do you work?

I work at Volvo/Mack trucks, but as I mentioned, these did not come off of one of our trucks. I think some employee brought these in and put them in the dumpster.

Those would be in my truck, and not in the dumpster.

Pick em up. Bare minimum, that is beer money sitting right there.

Yeah dude could at least have recycled them.

Maybe they're "hot".

I talked to the head of the shop.

Izuzu or Hino type HD 6-bolt truck, maybe?

do you want to sell them?

izuzu cab over trucks use that bolt pattern, but usually the holes are only 3/4 and they fit tight on the lugs on a rockwell but they will work.

we use a 5110 ditchwitch trencher with a dana 130 rear axle and it also has the same bolt pattern 6 on 8.5.

8.5" was incorrect. I was leaning over the edge of the dumpster guessing at the bolt circle. Now that I have them in the back of my truck, I took a better measurement, and they are 8.75" which apparently is the common 2.5 ton rockwell size. The head of the shop said someone asked him about dumping some 'steel' in the dumpster, but he doesn't remember who it was. We have a 'steel only' recycling dumpster at work due to the amount of metal thrown out on a regular basis. These were in that dumpster.

do you want to sell them?

I am going to clean them up, get some better measurements, some better pictures, and will be posting them for sale. They look to be $259 each new from MRW. I've got six of them. Four of them look identical, one looks slightly different, and the last one looks like the center was messed with.
