Check out a few tire repair/used tire shops. They may have some that will fit or know of someone that does.
About 8yrs ago someone decided I didn't really need the two tires I had mounted on the sides of my old 2horse bp trailer. Needless to say I had to replace my spare tires. I got the rims for $10 each. I took them to discount tire and had new tires put on them and then CHAINED them to the trailer.
