Plain steel 16.5 rim other than the stock 2-piece

I did a search through the wheel and tire threads but came up empty. I bought 4 new stock tires for the M1035A2 that I haven't received yet from GP. I'd like to find as close of a wheel that will fit my tires but get away from the stock 2-piece design. None of the shops in my area will touch an actual HMMWV wheel and I'm not able to do it myself. Any help would be appreciated

Do a google search for H1 wheels, and there are standard rims mixed in with the 2 piece for the search results

They are not that hard, you don't even need any special tools, I am 66 and 3/4 broken down and I can still get them done no problem.

Thank you. I looked up this wheel after I saw your post. Does it have the correct back spacing for a stock tire? I couldn't tell in the description

From appearances, it's specifically for the H1 so should work properly on the HMMWV. The only difference I've seen between some H1 and HMMWV wheels is some H1 wheels are hub centric, rather than lug centric, and use flange nuts rather than tapered nuts to hold it to the hub.
