Can anyone identify the wheel type fitted to these vehicles and where I could purchase a set. Thanks.

Re: Wheel identification

Good looking wheels,

This is the model you're looking for. But the web says its for LR...

Re: Wheel identification

Hi thanks for the information on the wheels.

On the website it appears that the wheel on the above Gs is only available for Landrovers.

The only wheel they have available for G Wagens is this one.

It maybe possible to fit the LR spec wheel with an adaptor but that is not an ideal solution. I have sent an email to Artic Trucks asking them if they were able to order the LR wheel in a G Wagen size.

Hi Try the website of Witham Special Vehicles or Andrew Jackson & Co.... they have a range of Military G' wagons and could have " breakers"

Re: Wheel identification

There is another Hutchinson G wheel that was just released; 16x7.5", 37et, 35.6lbs, beadlock, cast not forged.
LMK if you need more info, I've been discussing it with them recently.

Hutchinson USA hasn't been very open to info on the Arctic Truck wheel above. I bet it's special purchase only, no civilians. :(
