Combat Wheels - replacement parts (studs/outer rings)

Post by rcamacho »

I managed to pick up 6 combat wheels. Most are in rough shape so I expect only a few will be salvageable after disassembly and blasting.
Does anyone know what size the studs are and if anyone can supply new studs and potentially outer rings?

I came on site to ask the very same question tonight. I need studs. What or where is VPW? Pardon my ignorance.

John B @ Midwest Military has them also, I bought my new outer ring studs and nuts from. Not sure if he has the outer rings.

Drat, 4/6 wheels are structurally corroded beyond repair. outer rings and inner rim are rusted all the way through. It's unfortunate they were left unprotected in the elements for so long.
