The day we were leaving for vacation I was checking air pressures in a pretty good sleet downpour so I was in a rush. When I do tire pressures I remove the rear chrome beauty rims for easy access to the valve stems. I forgot to tighten the one side, only hand tightening the two nuts that hold the rim on.

At the first gas stop I saw the rim was missing. Does anyone know where I should/could begin looking for a GBM replacement rim? Thanks.

You need to give size and 8 or 10 lug pattern. I have some spare 16" covers but I se by your profile that being '99 you are probably 19.5".

I have Wheel Masters on my '94 GBM. I replaced a rear rim last year (was scratched up on when I bought the MH). Good people to deal with !!

Wow, thanks for all the quick replies, although I didn't see anybody as silly as me forgetting to tighten the nuts.

The rim is 19.5 and has 8 lugs - 6 fake and the two that actually hold the rim on. I'd like to find one that has the GBM on the hub like the original but if I can't find that I'd take anything. It would be better than looking at what I'm looking at now. Would a picture help? If so let me know how to upload one here. Thanks again.

United RV in Fort Worth, Texas has a large selection in stock. I've lost some parts also in the past. They have an E-Store.
