with all those nuts hold the 2 peices of the rim together i would guess its an aluminum rim, i know the tyre size is 11.25 x 20 but could you get away with 12.00 x 20 - this size was used on Saladin armoured cars and late Saracen APC and they had aluminum rims as well. not to hard to find here in the UK. All depends on the ply rating of the originals.
