They are off a 120mm MOBAT anti-tank RCL, not Champ.

(Apologises for poor eyesight in not spotting them sooner, thanks Richard!)

Thanks Tony, I think that would be it.
Doubt that there would be many sets of them in Australia.

I found a set of those wheels a few years ago and used them to make a tanden trailer. I always thought they were Land Rover wheels. I ground the cleats off. Are they the same as Land Rover and Champ rims? I am still looking for another one as the spare. They fit Land Rover hubs.

Jack,
I am sure that the MOBAT wheel will be identical to a Champ apart from the lugs. The stud pattern is the same as Land Rover, but the Champ wheel has a greater off set and is of course a two piece combat rim. Good Champ rims are getting harder to find, easier to stick with a Landy one as a spare.
Rich.

Sure hope it stays in Oz, worth every penny when you add up the extras.
