I have a 1977 Argosy MH sitting on a P30 chassis. I'm in hurry and need to know the Rim size for the motorhome.
It's a 10 lug wheel (19.5) tires.

Repairing Simulator

I checked eBay for a wheel simulator replacment and had no luck.

The wheel simulator I have and was trying to replace still fits on the rim perfectly.

However parts of the sides are bent inward, so it wouldn't look very well. Can anyone give me a recommendation on how to get the one I have un-bent?

Could the wheel simulator be heated and bent back to shape?

Procedures/tips?

There is also a center cover piece I have that fits in there.

Thanks

Fixing that would be pretty tough. Finding an exact replacement will also be difficult because of age. I would recommend finding one similar and use it. The rear wheels are a different style and you can't see both front wheels at the same time so no one but you will know it's not a perfect match.

This is a really good quality kit as it uses thread studs to keep the wheel cover on. They also sell air fitting extenders, so you can check air pressures easily.
