24 bolt wheels?

I saw 4 truckloads of Hummers going down IH-10 toward New Orleans 2 weeks ago. All of them were upfitted with armour and all had 24 bolts on the wheels.

Is there a corrolation between armour upfit and 24 bolt wheels? I have not seen any 'regular' Hummers with 12 bolts.

The new FRAG-6 HMMWV's all have the 24 bolt wheel to hold the extra pressure put on the tires due to the weight of the vehicle. My company painted all the Frag-6 armor that stuff is heavy.

Marine Corps Frag 5 Armor trucks all have the 24 bolt rims as well as the Geared Fan Drive. We get them in all the time. I haven't seen Frag 6 yet. I'm sure they're on the way.
