Just be mindful these are Navy Radio jeeps, not the usual Army jeep!

Looks like the jeeps in the topic link you list above are on a baby flat top known as an Escort Carrier or jeep carrier in slang navy jargon. These pics are post WW2.
Anyone have pics of jeeps in WW2 on flat tops . I have seen pictures of 2 jeeps on Enterprise spotting planes for future operations. The windshields were removed from the jeeps.

I'm assuming that was a joke; I looked up that company and it is an aftermarket wheel seller of what we used to call mag and spoked wheels: I didn't see anything even resembling a correct MB/GPW or any other, military wheel.
First, what jeep do you have?
I don't think Ron sells wheels any more, but call them anyway, and ask. Get all parts from Ron Fitzpatrick, at the top of the page.
