WTB Gar Aero/Air Hawk wheels and tires for 185

I'm looking around for a reasonably priced set of Gar Aero wheel extensions either by themselves or on Cleveland wheels for 1 1/2in axles for my 185. If you have a set of 29in or 8.50-10 Air Hawks you'd like to sell with them, that would also be great. I'm looking to purchase all or any pieces of this setup.
Thanks,
Matt

I'll keep these in mind for sure, I'd take the 8.50s if they were on the Gar Aeros but if I'm buying the tires separately my preference would be the 29x11-10s.

Not Airhawks, but I do have these McCreary 8.5 x 10s along with some Gar Aero adapters.

Tire on right is McCready 8.00x6, Center is 850x6 labeled by manf. Tire on left is Air Hawk 29x11x10,

29x11x10 's are on 10" ABW rims, About 60 hours use on Maule M-6, acquired a few years back but not used as intended on M-4 due to close to 50# weigt with 3/8? Cleveland disks for double-puck brakes. Ended up using the 8.50x6's with double- puck Cleveland calipers with re-used disk.rotors.

29 x11-10 w/ 10" ABW wheels are available. Make offer? I have $2066 invested. Vern 303-884-5012, leave message.

I have these if you are still interested, I personally wouldn’t run these tires on my wagon as they have some cracking, and probably not the brake disc, but the wheels are good and have 1 1/2” bearings, were on a 180K.
$1000.00 in Texas.

Bought a beauty set of Airhawks on ABIs from Vern. Thanks to all the folks who responded.

You won’t regret it. The Airframes wheels are bombproof, though a bit heavy. But using the Gar Aero adapters on a 185 wouldn’t be a great setup, in my opinion.

I was just searching for Gar Aeros because I figured they'd be an affordable way to dip my toes into big tires. I hadn't expected to find ABI 10 inchers affordably but I'm glad I did.
