I too have never seen 16" lock ring wheels with the 5 on 5 1/2 pattern. Pretty sure I have seen them in 15" on an old airstream trailer. The tonners have a 17" lock ring wheel with the ring painted silver, a long standing tradition in the heavy truck world. I think UPS still paints that stripe around todays one piece wheels. I know for a fact that they painted on a silver band on the rear wheels as the lock ring on the rear faces inwards.
