Default HEMTT one piece rims

I received what GL stated were HEMTT rims. I was expecting the two piece rims, but I received solid black one piece rims. They are twelve inches wide and will fit 20 inch tires.

Are the rims I received HEMMT rims, and will they work on five ton trucks?

They look like this?
If so, they are HEMTT rims, and work great on the 5 ton trucks.

Was this that lot of 72 or so from Creekside? I saw those, they are a goofy design. I hope you got whats in the picture and not what I think you got.

The rims came out of redstone arsenal AL. They are definately not the two piece rims in the picture posted by Hammer. I may have a problem with offset. I will let everyone know how it works out.

If they are like a standard 5 ton rim, only wider and heavier, they are good rims. I understand they do not flex as much as the 2 pc rims.
I need 7 of those, so if you would ship some over I'll try them out for you.

Thanks Dr. Greg, that is very generous of you. I only have enough to do two trucks, or I would take you up on the offer. yes, they are exactly as you described. Do you know what these rims were designed for?

There is no flexing of the rims as in Hammer's pic.

I think they are HEMTT rims, but without all of the fancy bolts.

These should be the rims, only the wrong color.
