    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    HEMMT wheels it is then! Has anyone used this HEMMT wheel seller on Ebay, might be a member here and his feedback is good but I want to be sure that i'm getting a quality OEM wheel. I hope this doesn't violate a for sale post in the wrong place, not meant to. Thanks. Edit: link removed.

    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    Because i've yet to hear from someone on SS that has adapted the MRAP wheels to a 5 ton.
