All,

Today after further investigation of the rims that came off my 1966 M416
trailer, I remain confused as to what they belong to. General observation
would indicate the M151/M416 'style' and not the old style rims of the
M38/M38A1 etc. The bolt holes are slightly recessed about 1/32" inch or so on
a flat flange. Around the perimeter of the wheel are 5 slots each looking
like a rectangle measuring about 1-1/2" tall and about 2-1/2" wide.

I've looked at pictures of other M416's and M151's and these are not the same
rims with the 1-1/2" diameter circle holes around the perimeter. They are
also very very light with one of them stamped ALCOA in the inside. I've also
looked at the Mighty Mite M422 pictures and the rims don't look like those in
the pictures either with all circles around the perimeter. (Reference book
was Standard Catalog of Military Vehicles revised first edition)

So.......what are these and what do they belong to?

Thanks,
Really Confused in Austin,
Scott
