718 Wheel Options
Hi Guys,
We found these relatively inexpensive wheels from the Dodge Sprinter Vans. The kicker was finding a Lug Bolt that would work with the new wheels as they have a conical seat versus the military ball seat and you cannot use the stock bolts. Anyways, replacement bolts came out of Italy and make it a bolt up conversion. Pictured is with 255/85R16 Maxxus Big Horns.
If anyone is looking for some extra combat wheels drop us a line and we have 15-20 spares!
Cheers,
Scott

Re: 718 Wheel Options
Do you have a pic of the mil wheels you have there? Wondering about fitting to a G... are they number 34 or 35 on this list? (6.5" or 7")

Re: 718 Wheel Options
Hi Vince,
Mopar is correct, I have the Delta combat wheels which are incredibly heavy and pretty hack in terms of balance. Definitely not the G Hutchinsons.
However, if you are going to be taking gunfire and want to continue to drive, give me a call
Cheers,
Scott

Re: 718 Wheel Options
Ah, I see, well those would look like ass on a G. Guess I'll hold off.

Re: 718 Wheel Options
You might consider the stock steel rims from the 2002 to 2006 Sprinter T1N models - they are extremely similar to the #35 on that chart except they are 6.25" wide between the bead lips and have a 75mm ET so it might require some spacers depending on the model of Gwagen you have. Pretty easy to pick up in the USA for $50 each via wrecking yards or craigslist/ebay - just be careful as the 2007 and later models are 6 lug and there is also a dually rim which won't work.
Re: 718 Wheel Options
I just did a quick search and found some "premium replacement" rims for sprinters that look like the stock ones but list the ET as being 55mm instead of the normal 75mm - that should make them work well on a 460 Gwagen. Its probably an error though.

They are only $78 each.

Re: 718 Wheel Options
That would be cool. I need to avoid spacers. I'll have to check into those last ones more.

Re: 718 Wheel Options
I actually have a number of these sprinter rims around my shop and can loan you one if that would help... let me know and I can put it in UPS for you.
Re: 718 Wheel Options
Hey Vince - There is a thread on the Expedition Portal site of a guy who just bought a Gwagen and is planning on replacing his wheels - so his steel rims might be available. He is in Los Angeles.

Re: 718 Wheel Options
Hello Together,
I'm Steve from Sydney, I just bought myself a 718K P80 Pinzgauer and I'm new to the Pinzgauer.
Have had 2 Defenders but sold me tourer no replaced by the Pinz.
Just saw this thread and was wondering whether there is a list of wheels which fit from other
brands, I saw the Dodge ones but they will be hard to get here in Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 718 Wheel Options
The dodge is just a Merceded Sprinter re-branded here in the USA. You need the 5 lug type - so prior to 2007. The sprinters wheels are deep offset / high ET - possibly more than the stock Pinzgauer wheels - and they are only 6 inches wide - so it you want a wider wheel then look at aftermarket alloys for Sprinters - they also seem to have less ET / offset.
Looks like a nice truck! Welcome to the forum!
