6 bolt aluminum front rims

Looking for a pair of 6 bolt aluminum front rims (15x4) for an Oliver. Anyone know who to contact? I've seen pictures of a few sets out there but I know most convert over to 5 bolt. I have a Schwartz aftermarket wide front end so finding hubs that fit may not be so easy. Thank you.
 
You can just use 5 bolt trailer hubs. We did on a 77. Just measure inside and outside diameter of axle and hub. Then get sealed bearings that size. Will need a few washers
Finger tight is enough. The new wheel cap will cover the axle nut sticking out. Our parts store had those bearings in stock.
 
No bearing I used were sealed ball bearings. They just push in where the race was. Just good for a pulling tractor. We even ground the hub away between the bolt holes.
 
My axles have an inner bearing inside diameter of 1 1/2 and the outer bearing has an inside diameter of 1 1/4. The spindle from end of the bearing to end of the bearing measures 2 3/4. It is an aftermarket wide front and when I compare it to an Oliver wide front the spindles are definitely smaller. I've seen people with aluminum hubs for Oliver spindles but my measurements are different, thus the reason why I was hoping to find some lite weight aluminum 6 bolt rims. My hubs are already fairly lite so I may see if a machine shop can re-drill them to a 5 bolt pattern if I can't find any rims. Thank you for everyone's help!
 
all hubs I have seen are for tapered bearings,I made 7 lb hubs with thick walled pipe and oilite bushings, grease them
 
You are over thinking it. Just find a sealed ball bearing the same outside diameter as the inside diameter of hub. Then same on outside. Will need some washers or make a spacer. Then just hand tightned nut. It will stick out of hub. But cap on wheel will cover it. Don't need any grease.
