Hey Donk - you still have these wheels for sale? PM'd you twice, but haven't heard any response. Guessing you are probably out of town, or maybe sold out. In any case, please let me know if you still have them when you have a chance.

Thanks,
-Frank

Guys, just got my set of rims from Zack. Spectacular does not begin to describe them... I cannot wait to slap tires on them and put them in my deuce fire truck. The welds are excellent+++ and the paint he did, gloss black on the outer and gloss red on the inner is flawless. Thank you again Zack.

Does any one know how to get ahold of Zack? Looks like the last time he logged in was in April.

I have not read every page of this thread, just the first 4 or 5, so hope this is not a repeat question. Anyway, here goes... it might also be a stupid question, but her it comes... ok, uh...
These are tube type rims, am I correct? If so, do you have plans for tubeless, or are these tubeless already, and I am just not the sharpest knife in the drawer. For those of you out there thinking I missed the obvious, welcome to my world.

Hemtt wheels are tubeless two piece wheels.

Just be sure to use plenty of grease everywhere there is a seal... between the beads and the rim, on the o ring between the halves, where the valve stem meets the rim...

If you are prone to not use for extended periods or like low pressures for off roading, then a set of beadlocks will come in real handy... very nice to not have to remount a wheel that bled down over 1 month and now it is sitting off the bead ... with a bead lock you can just air it up and you are good to go...

Anyone know how to get in touch w/ DonkDonk? We are trying to give him some money (a lot really) for some rims and he just dropped off the email. Haven't heard from him since the start of June. We are on a time limit, taking the rig out for the summer, and want to get the wheels changed before we go.
If anybody can re-connect us I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
LowTech

Keep up the good work, the wheels are on my very long to do list!

Great information here. If I have Goodyear MVT's and these wheels do I need to run tubes?.A little confused here.

I have been out of these wheels for over a year now.

Funny thing is, when I bought them I got 120 wheels. I was sitting there looking at all these pallets (they were 4 to a pallet stacked 3 pallets high) and wondering what the **** I was thinking buying all of them... now I wish I had bought 2000 of them.

To answer your question, no, you do not run tubes with these wheels as long as the tire does not require it, which the MVT's do not.

Thanks for the info.Any idea where I can get 6 wheels to fit my Deuce?.

He asked backspacing, not front spacing. For the states where you can't have a ton of tire hanging out from the fender, are the narrow track rockpig designs the same cost?

I have a few dozen of the HEMTT Wheels converted to Deuce available. PM for details.

 

[bones1]

Do you have any pictures of the wheels?.

 

[treysoucie]

so besides making the tires much easier to come on and off the wheels and converting to tubeless what are the benefits to running these? will it make the 395's appear larger due to the increased rim size? id love to see a side by side comparison with the 395's on these wheels versus the stockers.

Post #22 was not relevant. It only pertains to COMMERCIAL trucks, not personal trucks. There would be no reason whatsoever to stop at a weigh station for your own truck.

All of this has been covered a zillion times, no need to go over it again.

That is not true in North Carolina. Any truck that has more than two axles is.subject to getting pulled over by the DOT enforcement State Patrol. If you have a modified vehicle, I.e. bobbed deuce, or tires/wheels without the proper DOT certification, are subject to.some pretty hefty fines. In that instance, yes, you will.be required to have the.vehicle towed back home as it is.illegal to.drive on public roads. Several deuce owners here in N C have gotten some really big fines for not having the required fuel sticker, and also.for.being over weight. The license people.will issue you a tag and registration with the same rating as a half ton pickup if you sign a waver, as I did, before learning the law. However, the first time you get pulled by the DOT cop, you will be way over weight limit, even if you are empty! And you will get a really big fine.

The bottom line is, know what YOUR state laws are. Do not believe that what other guys are getting away with in other states will.work in your state.
