Question about mrap style rims

So a while ago, I bought a set of 3 Michelin XML tires in 325/85r16 off a gentleman in Alabama. They were military take offs and were on 16" combat style rims. For the life of me, I have no idea what they are called because I can't so much as find a picture on Google of them. I'm fairly sure they were 16" and not 16.5" as they had the Michelin 16s mounted (unless someone forced them on, but I doubt it.) I'd like to know so I can possibly get some centers made so I can run the same tire, safer than the 6.5" rim I have now.

This is what it looked like when I bought it

:ditto: Yep LAV rims, they dumped tons of these about 8 years ago. A lot of the M715, Power wagon guys snatched them up for the tires.

I never actually got them unfortunately, I had the choice of the rims or an extra XML so I took the tire, lol. In retrospect, thought it would be a better/safer/cool looking idea
