Dually

Modern version has same rim but flipped.
Axle must be special elongated, to accept 2 wheels back to back
$3500 [1]
$3300 [2]
Dexter catalog - [3]
16-18 ply wheels - 17.5" 215/75 R17.5 16 ply Radial TWA (Tire Wheel Assemblies) - add another $2k?
$9k for 2 axles (32k lb) - [4]
Wheels (4) are $1200 -
4 wheels $900 - [5]. Not. Need 8 lug on 10.8" center [6].
What are 8 lug on 6.5" hole center? For trucks, not trailers.
Here is the wheel - 8x275 mm - [7]

Hint: 3 axle x 7k is most cost effective, but this runs into the issue of difficult turning - rubber rips on short radius

21k triple axis with wheels and brakes $3600 [9]
- Note that 7k axles are $700, while 16k axles are $3700 - why the huge jump?

Double axle kit is disproportionately expensive compared to triple. 20k lb double axle kit - $8.4k [10]
7k - $700 [11]. 7k with wheels $1100, includes electric brakes. [12]
- Note that the 3500 lb version of this is disproportionately expensive at 80% the price at 1/2 the spec, at $850 [13]
- $500 for 3.5k with wheels ,no brakes [14]
- Note that 10k axles are likewise disproportionately expensive in kit form, but just axle is close to 7k [15]
15k - electric - $3200 [16].
15k - $2500 [17]
