    Hummer wheels and tires

    You wuntum, I gotum. 3 sets of 4 for sale. Most are 8 bolt, I think there are 1 or 2 twelve bolt ones though. $200 for 4 wheels with or without tires, $20 each for tires seperately. All different condition tires, although the two baldest ones are getting sacrificed to the burnout gods when I get around to it.

    If I get ambitious I might take the runflat out before I do it, but we'll see. That would be alot of work.

    The runflat/beatlock on a hummer works by squishing the tire between itself and the inside and outside rim. This is accomplished by inserting the runflat inside the tire and then bolting the 2 halves of the hummer rim together.

    So, unless you had a hutchison style rim that bolts together and you bored out the magnesium runflat to a larger diameter, this will not work.

    I would assume the 8 bolt ones have the standard magnesium ones. The twelve bolts one(s) might have magnesium or rubber ones, they all have the older version tires on them so who knows.

    The 12 bolt rims are the later version. They came with radial tires, rubber runflats and are rated for 60 PSI and over 3k load weight, as opposed to bias ply tires, magnesium runflats and 30 PSI and around 2500 pounds on the 8 bolt rims.
