VEP VS GP rims???

Post by M1045 » Sat Feb 13, 2021 12:31 pm

Am I correct that the GPs used the 16 x 4.o solid rims? If so, what did the VEPs come with?
Picked this up today. Nice trade for a Cj rim.

All the GPWs came with combat rims to the best of my knowledge.

Yes, It is an early military rim, not a Cj rim.
So VEPs use Combat rims.
Sounds good.
This will be the spare for the GP then.
