One more and I am fairly convinced it is as said, wagon or buggy wheel, take a gander through the WAGON WHEELS link on the left.

Could even be a cannon wheel rim, will be listed in the link of pictures on the site.

cannons are what im looking for, i did see one at the saratoga battlefield that had a rim such as this, but im not sure about the six sided nuts on the studs . thanks for the input.

i think if i can find more of the hub would be good.

That would be a plus. Also, I don't recall, and I skimmed through quickly so I apologize if I missed it, if you tried to measure it as accurately as possible. This may give you what you are looking for faster than finding the hub.
