Two sets of bolts on a truck rim
I'm curious what the two concentric sets of bolts are on a steel rim of
a truck tire? Saw a what seemed like a 7-8 ton commercial truck the other day and it had two sets of dissimilar bolts. One to attach the wheel to the hub obviously and the other for keeping the two piece rim together or what? |

Probably fake and just for show. 7-8 ton is small medium as trucks go. Full floating axles have bolts/nuts inside the wheel lug circle to bolt the axle to the hub. Racing vehicles have tires screwed to the rims. Bolt together multi-piece wheels start at about 48" wheels and up. However, those vehicles are quiet large and would have a hard time fitting on a two lane roadway. |

The 5-Ton (off-road) trucks I worked on in the USMC had two piece (aka "split") rims. Do a google image search on truck rims and then hyperlink us all to a picture of exactly what you saw. GW |

I had not thought about military vehicles or vehicles in non-USA countries. I have only worked on split rims on commercial vehicles, semi's, and USA only. |

Sounds like you saw a truck with Dayton style rims. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...ton-wheels.jpg -- Steve W. |
