It was easy before but now it's a lot harder.
First of all, AMT has a set in the Autocar A64B kit
AITM had them casted in resin, Keystone Aluminum Model Miniatures had them in machined aluminum (wich were the best), both are gone, but there are a few still doing them, Strato Models do them from time to time but not now and I have seen a set on another eastern European site.
But you can quite easlily do a set yourself from a set of AMT 10-hole lock ring wheels, plug every other hole with a plastic rod, cut and sand flush and you are on your way.

Thanks for the replies, there is some other stuff in the Autocar kit that I can use on the build I'm doing so I think I will pick one of those kits up for parts.

Right, that's the way it was done for the 20" wheels before the aftermarket offerings. The photo shows a center point front axle as well. Maybe a shallower cut Peterbilt rear hub?
