I posted a tech page on Hummer wheels, beadlocks and runflats, including some pictures.

If anyone has any other pictures to add or information, please feel free to email me (wolf359@shaw.ca) and I will add it.

Link is on www.gohumvee.com under the tech section.

Wayne Hanson at Hanson Enterprises makes custom centers for these wheels that will put the back spacing at 4.5". They're designed to be used on the military version. He also makes a bead protector that you weld to the outside portion of the rim bead to give it a little more strength.

Also, we have tentative plans to pick up Gunracer's bead locks. I'll let you guys know if our plans fall through.

I guess they haven't gotten around to putting the center sections up on their website. I checked every area and didn't find squat. :(

I wanna hear about and see these wonderous items. I want to run the Hummer rims on my 60/14 combo but the backspacing SUX!! Is any one style of the runflats better than another? How about the beadlocks? These maybe lame :question:s to you guys but I am in the dark on this one. So far I understand that I should not run the 8 bolt rims. Fire away with the good info. :beer:

And you likely wont. They are, like most of his stuff, built to suit so to speak. Call and talk to him about them is my best advice. Or you can wait till I get mine to see em ;)

No pics here, but Edwin is the hook up for the wheels. He can either get them stock or custom with all of Wayne's fixins. Beware, the price listed is the price less beadlocks. Ask him about them. The last I heard he was looking into making custom beadlocks better suited for our sport.

Check out his website: Jeep Naked (http://www.jeepnaked.com)
