There's a set of 5 DBL super singles with MPT81 meats and a front bumper on this forum for cheap right now. Not aluminum.

Bit of unicorn thing you're looking for. Maybe search "Wehring" on this forum. He designed and sells what I believe is the best aluminum super single wheel setup you can buy. Also has custom fabbed centramatic wheel balancers. Not cheap. But quality from what I can tell.

There’s a heck of a difference between Hutchinson and Stazworks. One has a reputation for quality, one has a tendency to fall apart (not good for your health). In that order.
Mr Wehring, who I’ve met personally, has Hutchinson make his 1 piece aluminum wheels. He seemed like a good honest person.
Thanks for the reply. I will probably end up ordering them from Stazworks….I figured I would see if anyone has some lying around before I do.
Christian, thanks for the heads up. So far I have only gotten messages from scammers. I have reported them.

I have, the seller of those wheels has made lots of posts, but I haven’t seen any other reviews. I would prefer two piece design, I have heard it is really hard to get the military tires on with one piece wheels and you risk tearing the bead. I think I have a deal that should go through on some stazworks wheels soon ??

Do more research on this before making a big $ mistake.
Its exactly the opposite.
I had a set of Hutchisons for my build when i started. In theory seems wheels that come apart would be easier to mount tires to...
Most definitely is not the case. I spent hours in my back yard trying to get tires on the Hutchinsons, between the oring lining up, and the awkward size and shape, it is a ROYAL PITA to do yourself.
On the flip side, with some soapy water, i mounted one of the MPTs onto a 1 piece buckstop wheel myself in about 5 minutes with a simple piece of wood, yes really.
I gave the Hutchinsons to a friend, because there is no way in hell i want to deal with that on a trail if i need to replace a tire.
Here is a video i have of the local truck shop mounting my MPTs by hand. Took dude minutes with just a tire bar
Fast forward to about 1:20:
