5 ton super singles? With internal double beadlocks? Are these for sale? How much?

They don't look like M939 5 ton rims. Maybe FMTV?

Looks like FMTV to me.

Hi all,

The wheels pictured are for the M809 series 5 ton trucks that the USMC rebuilt to their specifications in the late 80s/early 90s. The two links below are of trucks I purchased in Hawaii ... notice the wheels on the M813 and the M923:

And

http://shortlinks.net/mvq543

The 20-bolt wheels are just fine (except 2x work when taking apart/putting back together), but it is literally impossible to find the wheel O-rings for these 20-bolt wheels. I have one truck with the 20 bolt wheels that, fortunately, currently hold air. The O-rings on the 20-bolt wheels are actually triangle shaped rings and unlike any O-ring I'd encountered before. The 10-bolt wheel O-rings are easy to find and I actually stock them.

So, word of warning; if you purchase the 20-bolt combat wheels you'll have to have your own O-rings manufactured!!!

I'd LOVE for someone to prove me wrong on the O-rings (as in, "no Joe, these are readily available from XYZ Company in XYZ state").

If you know where to get O-rings for these wheels let us ALL know.

Good luck to all!

Joe

Hey Joe,
The 20-bolt rims on your truck have an offset where the wheel flange bolts to the hub while the ones pictured above look to be flat all the way across. Plus, they have an extra hole in between 2 of the lug holes, maybe for CTIS? I know the 939-series CTIS comes through the hub. Anyone know what comes through the wheel?

Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone.

Chris,

Agreed! My mistake. Thanks for the catch!

To all -- still looking for the O-rings for the 20-bolt 5 ton wheels if anyone knows where to find them. I think that Westech will need them as well.

Joe- The wheels shown in the links don't match what is shown above. The centers on the rims posted by Sermis are totally flat, not pressed in any way. That doesn't mean they will not work on a 5 ton, just they look a little different than the normal 10 and 20 bolt rims I have seen.

Are you sure on the triangular o-ring? Is it possible that it deformed to that shape when used? Do you have a NOS one? If so, you can get it duplicated easily from an O-ring company. I can give you contact info if needed.

GIJoeCzar

Thanks for the catch.

And, you're totally right -- it's very possible that the o-rings I removed were simply so deformed that they appeared to be triangular in shape. I did take the wheels, with o-ring out, to my local heavy truck place they couldn't help me at all.

I suspect that I may have to simply wait until one of my 20-bolt tires goes flat, then take it apart and have the o-rings manufactured. And, yes, I would very much appreciate the O-ring company contact info that you have.

Thanks again,

Joe
