Its off an MRAP. They have some that are identical without a CTIS valve. It simply unbolts and you screw in a valve stem. They are the wheels used for the deuce adapter plates for super singles

Most have 395 XZL tires. Even found them with 14.00s on them with runflats. Its not a standard budd pattern wheel for an LMTV. Metric hub pilot and not stud pilot. 335mm

I have these and they are a budd bolt pattern and nut centered. Not hub centered like an mrap. I plan on machining a special nut to convert the ctis to work once I get my lathe set up. You could use thes rims with the aluminum rim nuts with no ctis, but the one hole should have a bushing pressed in place to fit proper.

Wes, these CTIS do not unbolt. They are cast part of the wheel.

Also, this pattern is standard budd lmtv pattern, i had it bolted on. The lugs are a tapered hole.

I am familiar with the wheels you are talking about, They are not the same as this one.

Any idea what they were used on? Curious what the ctis looked like.

Did you try taking the cap bolts out and taping the valves with a hammer? It looks like they have a very heavy coating on them making them appear to be part of the wheel...

Again, no. Look at my photos. These are lmtv pattern, with a built in Ctis regulator.

Jeez. They are part of the wheel. The internal bits of thevalve can be unbolted but the housing is cast in. They are very slick.

Nah... of course does the valve housing come off. Why would they have those two socket cap screws, if not...?

See this image. Do as suggested in post #7.

FWIW, this post shows the larger, 10-on-13.2" pattern aluminum Hutchinson wheel, which has its CTIS valve mounted differently, but it still is the very same valve as pictured in post #1

Alrighty then... good luck identifying your slick wheels.

I owe you a public apology. You are correct on all counts, the unit was super crusted on there. I apologize and stand humbly corrected!
Hey, don’t sweat it!
Your more of a man than a few others here, to own up to a simple mistake.
You can blame your signature “a million pounds of CARC” for this one!
