Need a steel rim and hub for a 71 VW bus

anyone out there got a original steel rim and a front hub for a 71' VW bus? I dont care what condition the rim is in, as long as it is straight. Been working on a bus that someone used a welding torch to remove a siezed lug nut. needless to say, the rim and the hub are wasted, and it's only using 4 lug nuts. (yes he is driving it around this way, he's a surfer and a college student)

These have to be a pretty common part out there...

By "hub" do you mean "brake drum"?

Nope, 1971 is the first year of front disc brakes. No drum brakes here.

Jared needs the 5-bolt hub that holds the front brake rotor. Try your local pick-ur-part. Same hub from 1971-1979 type II

Ya know, I should have known that, but I guess I just ignore everything past '67
