I need to buy a couple of these thick washers. They hold a wheel to
the hub. Note that the wheel is clamped down with these, it is not
like the usual wheels that have bolt holes.

I need to know what are these washers called so I can find where to
buy them.

Thanks

There is a type of thick wheel retaining washer that is crimped into a
groove, but I don't think they can be installed without the right
press dies. If a snap ring isn't adequate I'd drill and thread it for
a castle nut or adapt a split shaft collar to the groove.

No, this is not it, sorry.

They simply go on bolts like washers, but are thick and shaped to hold
the rim.

Call around to the welding shops who do trailers, Ig. Or to local
fastener supply houses. Measure one and tell them the dims.

calls some similar things "wheel mounting lug wedges", but they are called
eccentric or non-eccentric wheel clamps, in following page.

Rim clamp wedge. Be aware that different companies made different
types/sizes and shapes.
If this is for a trailer, visit a trailer sales place, with the name of
the trailer, who made the axle/hub is helpful as well.

Call your closest NAPA Auto Parts and ask which store in town handles
the Heavy Truck Parts - there will be at least one that stocks all
that stuff, learn where it is.

Plunk one of your old ones on the counter, and he'll go get the box
off the shelf and ask how many you want.
