M929A2 Different Rim Identification and usage.

[Vermonster]

Another Rookie Question. A Kid's gotta learn somewhere.

When I bought my Dump Truck it came with 4 Brand New General Tires mounted on Rims.
Finally got the Brake Issue straightened out, and got the Drum on.
Went to install spare tire.

The Spare I have with the Original type Rim won't hold air, leaking where the Rim comes apart.
These New Rims are Different. Do they have a Name? Maybe for a Newer Model Truck? Oshkosh maybe?
They don't fit mine.

The one on the left appears to be an MRAP rim.

The one on the right is a 5ton combat rim and should bolt right up.

Thanks. What does a MRAP Rim go to?
The Combat Rim came with my truck. It won't hold air. Guess I'll be tearing it apart to find out why.

The MRAP rim goes on an MRAP of course

They can be used on M35A2s as well (with the appropriate adapter plate), and that's who you're going to find who may want it.

The combat rim is either leaking at the valve stem or O-ring most likely.

Well, Don't I feel Dumb. I had to look up what a MRAP is. I got Discharged in 76 and to the best of My knowledge, we didn't have any such things.

I got 4 Steel Wheels that appear to be New with 4 Brand New General Tires, (1400X20) , that are no good to me.
Any idea what they are worth? I know, I can go do some more research, just wanted your opinion.
Thanks.

14.00's are somewhat scarce. If you're sticking with 14.00's on your truck, you probably want to keep them and mount them on your wheels.

Upon closer inspection those may be off a crane.

Ballpark is $500ish. @Jbulach may have some useful information to add.

The MRAP is a GWOT thing. They didn't exist when I was in either.

Judging by the tire, likely the road tire/wheel for the Husky, still makes it an MRAP wheel. I think I got $75 each for just the wheels that I sold but took quite a while to find a buyer. Also those should be bias tires, so be careful on the corners until you get used to how they behave, especially if you mount them on the front.
