    New Aluminum FMTV wheels and tires on flea bay

    Aluminium rims are approx half the weight, they are designed to be more resistant to shock (ie an IED blast), and resistant to ballistic impact than steel wheels. http://www.hutchinsoninc.com/CMS/index.php?page=military-tactical-wheels

    Longer studs or shallower nuts. Most just go with the shallower nuts.

    New Aluminum FMTV wheels and tires on flea bay

    I don't know I've always run the steelies. Some swear by the aluminium wheels. The aluminium wheels are about 50 pounds less and stronger. The Caiman went to aluminium wheels as small IED's would just blow the tire off the wheel, whereas the steel wheel would get blown off the hub.
