    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    The recentered wheels will always be available. We currently offer them. We just can't put our hands on the tires. We are bringing in some new tires but they won't have the same cheap price tag as the take offs. We have no plans to run the 16's in our new process. There isn't a large enough...

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    Ran into a road block with tires. Louie wanted replacement tires and I still can't put my hands on them. The government quit running them into surplus. When he couldn't get tires the wheels didn't make sense. So I refunded his money so he could go do something else. Kills me because I wanted...

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    I didn't look at all the wheels when they got back. We spun the first wheel and it was bad enough that I didn't need to look at the rest. I just built new wheels. I also noticed that the PVC was a much older version that has completely been revised as well. So I built all new PVC inserts that...

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    Yes it is possible. We do it all the time. What stinks is that the farther you get away from the stock size of tire on your rig the more precise you have to be with everything to get it to roll true down the road. I have 42" bias ply tires on my Jeep and have them balanced correctly clear up to...

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    On whatever cell phone number you had when you got your combo back in September 2014. Call me regardless. Just because you have a vibe doesn't mean your wheels are built incorrectly and I'm willing to go through the steps with you to get it right. 316.337.5311 Thanks, Andy

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    Trail Worthy Fab has been making H1 wheels for over 8 years. If you look at Bella's issues they are from 6 years ago. We made him wheels and there was something wrong about them. So we sent him more. It took over 6 years before I found out the second set had issues. So I'm having everything...

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    Well damn. After how many years you'd wish a problem could just get fixed. Louie- I got your email. I will be in contact tomorrow as I'd like to have one of my wheels back(the worst in your opinion) so I can look at it myself. I'd also like to go back over my emails as I was assured this...

    My Hummer wheelset experience

    I think you'd be fine. The 12 bolt wheel is rated for 3850lbs per wheel. The 24's are rated at 4540lbs.

    Already done on the lug pattern. We just shipped a set and they are already installed using the Fuso lug nuts. :)

    My Hummer wheelset experience

    Ours are special because they are made for our wheels. They aren't the military version. But they aren't $18 buck each either. :) I tend to replace my orings every time I change tires. But I can walk to the shelf and grab them.

    My Hummer wheelset experience

    Something else to think about. You have to run inserts in one form or another. If you don't want to run inserts then look for a different option. The insert is the only mechanical advantage you have to keep the bead on the wheel if you start to lose air pressure.

    My Hummer wheelset experience

    Weight is a direct result of the combo we build. So if you go with a rock ring or not it changes. But you can account for 130-175 depending on what we do. The 12 bolt and 24 bolt are around 1-2 pounds difference with the 24 bolt being heavier. The PVC insert that goes inside the tire will...

    My Hummer wheelset experience

    The only way to say a guaranteed number would be to crush them and see their crush ratings. Since we haven't done that I could never answer you. But I do know that in stock form the 24 bolt wheel was designed for a 15k-18k pound vehicle. I believe them to be stronger with our recenter process...

    My Hummer wheelset experience

    The life span of the H1 wheel has grown through the past to accommodate extra weight. So the earlier version of the Humvee used the 8 bolt setup with the bias ply tires. They progressed into the 12 bolt with a radial and now into the 24 bolt wheel with an even heavier duty radial. The 24 bolt...

    Hey Mick- Thank you for the write up and your experience with TWF. It is great to see the wheels and tires on your rig. I never got to see the final product. This is for everyone on EP.com... Mick was great to work with and he is a great person. Mick- My offer still stands for the future...

    HMMWV double beadlocks wheels on a Ford Superduty

    Louie has been experiencing some wheel balance issues that was our fault. Originally we started making wheels a specific way that allowed our welders to install wheel shells incorrectly. We have had a couple wheels that were welded improperly and Louie has an early set of wheels that required...
