M37 wheels help

Post by Cpc993 »

Hi all.

I'm a new owner of a M37. I need some help finding wheels and tires. I would like to use a tubless tire. I rather not have to use a custom wheel from MRW. What options do I have. Please help.

Few options.
VPW sells 17" drop center wheels
Stockton can make what ever you want and can pay for.

Thank you.c those wheels are $375 each. A custom wheel is much cheaper. I was considering changing everything out. The both axel housings with disc brakes on there already. Seems like it would save a ton of costs in the long run. Disc conversion was $745 each.

Also try MRW (Marsh Racing Wheels) http://www.mrt-wheels.com/

Here are the Wheels they built for my brother, 17x9's and he did the custom paint on them.

I was looking at the mrw wheels. They are all steel. I'm looking to do disc brakes also. Changing axles to ford or dodge is looking much better now.

? Is there an issue with an all steel MRW wheel over an all steel VPW wheel?

? Disc brake conversion are available foe the axles.

No there's no issues with steel wheels at all. Both options are costly. Also the weight of the tires and the wheels will be very heavy. If I have a choice I would like something aluminum and a bit more more modern looking. The disc conversion is almost 3k from what I have read. If I try and swap out the complete axle housings it may be cheaper. I'm going to look at some trucks tomorrow and get measurements.

I have 2 takeoff's with tires. Don't know anything about them but they do hold air. At present on my M37. $300 for the pair + shipping or you pick up. N. Idaho Don
