I was wondering if anyone had picks of the military spoke wheels on a model A.I have seen the ones that Shine had custom made.Does anyone sell them or do they have to be made?
And another stupid question,Why do they call them military spoke wheels?I have never seen pics of a military vehicle with them?

Not aftermarket.
They are called artillery wheels.

i have 4 of em that i don't think i'm gonna be using. they are really narrow. (like 3.5 or 4") and 17" diameter. got a goofy small bolt pattern though. can't recall what it is right now.

no pics and no price. hadn't really planned on sellin em, but they are just taking up space. i'll see if i can get some pics and all the correct measurements.

oh, and i had em all blasted so they are clean bare metal. still in pretty good shape, but have some pitting on the inside of the rims.

I have a set of 5 that are 16x5 inch with the 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I found them on the internet (some guy that restores Packards had them on his site). And I have a couple photos saved on my starblvd album, but I can't get it to come up. You're welcome to try for yourself ( http://photo.starblvd.net/ognc )

I was going to use the wheels on my RPU, but now I don't know if I am going to or not.

Here is an Image I just found, These are different than the ones I have, but you get the idea.
