Ok everyone I’ve figured out all the different O-ring sizes and where to get them for these aluminum wheels. By the way the wheel part number is 0347 if you look on your wheel you’ll find WO-0347, WO stands for wheel outer and WI-0347, WI stands for wheel inner.
After the last post I’ve search everywhere ended up getting in touch with the engineer at Hutchinson about the large oring and he explained that it was truly a round oring and after getting hot they sometimes take a different shape....crazy to me, sounds like they should use a different material. But he did say I could order them from them and even shared the part number and a picture. Part # 50012View attachment 830798
$18.00 each with a minimum order of $100 plus shipping.
So with that data you can go to McMaster Carr and order...made to order O-rings. So I ordered 4 each Buna orings with maximum temp of 250 degrees and 4 high temp silicone orings max temp 450.

and here are the other small orings for the CTIS valve and the back side of the wheel.
ThanksGo on McMaster Carr site and look at o-rings. They do a great job a describing the different materials and application. Then pick based on your conditions such as needs to be gas resistant or heat resistant and so on.
Just remember that there are different threads for the left and right sides of the truck.So in the back of the truck, I recently purchased are four crates with these rims with tires on them. I have not dug through the boxes yet. What are the odds that the lug nuts for them will be inside the boxes? I won't get a chance to look until later in the week when I get out to my friends shop where I am storing the truck. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Thank You Keith!!!!View attachment 877188
Here are the lug nuts for these Aluminum wheels.
There is also a 3-piece run flat beadlock that you bolt together inside the tire.It seems there are two options, the split steel band beadlock that seems to be the standard issue with the steel wheels, or a one piece rubber beadlock.
Well, I just hope I can find some of these nuts in the next couple of weeks or this new wheel and tire combo are going to be very expensive paper weights.I feel responsible for them changing there policies after I figured it all out and shared it with this small community and they felt it was to much of a problem and stopped selling to us.
I think Ken Spencer has/can get them (MV parts store)Well, I just hope I can find some of these nuts in the next couple of weeks or this new wheel and tire combo are going to be very expensive paper weights.
