Looking for 22.5 x 6.75 steel rim/wheel

Hi all
We have a Dolphin 04 with workhorse chassis. We are in Gulf Port Ms and discovered our front new left tire was loosing air. Took it in to mechanic and discovered it is a faulty weld on the rim. We are trying to locate a steel 22.5 x 6.75, 8 lug rim/wheel. Would anyone here know where to find one?
Would really appreciate any suggestions.
Stuck in Gulf Port.
Thanks
Kim & Ed

    We finally found a used rim from a salvage yard in Az. Suppose to arrive Friday morning. Back on the road Sunday.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    They make a wheel sealer for alloy wheels with casting leaks. Should work on yours depending on where the bad weld is. You dismount the tire and then "paint" the wheel with the "stuff" before remounting the tire.

    I would call some truck tire shops and inquire. They should have a supplier or know where you could buy a rim.

    Finally, check with some wrecking yards. Look them up using Google or a local phone book.

    Reweld it where it's leaking if it's a small area. Add 1/4 oz 180 out to rebalance.
