I can't find any! Anyone know a good place to start looking? I'm not asking anyone to find them FOR me (though I would be very appreciative!), but I have no idea where to find the big stuff, and I figure y'all do...


The hunt continues! Thanks......

make sure they are the older style with more "beadlock"bolts...the newer ones are thinner metal, iirc
also, I had heard a bunch of the HMMT rims are 'posed to hit the market soon, they area the same 5T pattern, only alum...mucho lighter

I don't know if have the older or newer style you mention, but you can see pics under the other post.

HEMTT rims would be sweet. I'd like to have a set of those!

If you have your heart set on beadlocks then check with Barstow Truck. They have 'em but they try to hold them back for M-900 series trucks they build. Otherwise, have you considered Budd 20X10 three-piece wheels? Hayes made a very similar wheel for the HEMTTs which I have a machinist's drwg. of for reference. I ended up with a set of Budds and they're what the truck wrecking yards refer to as "garbage truck wheels" because that's what they're mostly used on out here.

Hope this helps, Jones

Yep, 10 hole with countersink on both sides of the lug stud hole so as to run them deep dish in or out, 10" wide between flanges and as close as I can figure, with about a 4" to 4 1/2" offset when measured from the wheel centerline. Hayes' rim for the HEMTTs has a 3" offset but the Budds will put my wheel tracks almost on top of each other which is what I was shooting for. See drwg.
