Is it a HET wheel? I can't find any good images of HET wheels on Google, or maybe my Goo skills are weak.

tire size is correct for a het.
I picked up one het wheel that went to castlebravo. PM him as he can verify.
I don't think it is a het but an mrap. The het wheel had 2 valve stems that then had metal tubing to a valve for fill and ctis. I just don't see a corresponding hole on the other side.

Most likely for one of the few MRAP-variants using 16.00R20's.
It is not a HET wheel, for sure.

The lugs look like they are quite far from the edge. Doesn't look like MRAP I see online. Looks like the bolt pattern is small.

If these are the ones I was looking at recently the NSN said Buffalo MRAP as the designation.

MRAP is a whole bunch of different vehicles with no real connection between them other than they are mine resistant.

Ok cool. Well, I own them now! I wanted the tires, wheels came with the package.

You are correct about that; what you have there is an aluminum wheel with a std 10-on-11.25" bolt pattern and 8.66" pilot hole. Most MRAP wheels have the larger 335mm bolt circle, with the 281mm pilot hole.
I just found out that the early model (A1) Buffalo MPCV had these wheels on the front axle, only. Tires were the same, of course.
One of the later model A2's improvements was just that: they came with identical wheels front and rear and could use the same spare, all around.
Below is a picture of the A1, from the internet...

MRAP I think. And the one shown appears to be steel, which is 1/2" thick at the bolt. Probably Henderson.
I bought 12 of them at GL, made by Henderson and have the 20 bolt ring. They are hub piloted and will fit most semi axles, which have the same BC. I've devised a lug nut to use them on the stud pilot 5 ton.
Here is a picture of the rim and here is a combination that I made using the offset outer (20 bolt) of a rim that came on the 450/80/R20 Sand Trail tires (with 13.19" BC). That makes a 12" wide rim from the combination that will fit a semi axle or 5 ton with 10.25" BC.
