Will any Land Rover wheels will fit?

I've got a decent size trailer that I want to do up and use, but the tyres are all well perished. I'm trying to source replacements. The tyres on at the moment are 6.00 - 16 c. The wheels look like old Land Rover wheels. From the photos, can anyone tell me which Land Rover wheels might fit the hubs? Tyres don't have to be in great condition.
Thanks.

Yes, they look very much like the 5 x 165 Land Rover configuration. You might want to stick to steels rather than alloys though, because they look like they'll need a big hole in the middle and if they have drum brakes, alloys may not snuggle up neatly against the drum, same as the problem you get with defender drum braked axles.
 
Thanks, yes, there's no way an alloy would fit over the grease cap. So would any steel Land Rover wheels fit? I've got to be careful of width because of the mud guards on the trailer.
 
The hub hole looks very large. Might not be standard land rover size. No expert but I remember a local chap who does trailers up had trouble with a similar project. Might be worth refurbishing the ones you have, save the trouble.

How big are the center holes?
 
They look like Land Rover wheels. If they are there's a number stamped on them. I think on the inside. They're likely to require a tube.

Yes, the tyres have tubes in them. I'll take one of the wheels off tomorrow and have a look for the number.
