Take them apart. You will then have plenty of time to correctly paint them white while you are waiting for the inserts to show up.

And, If that raised area outside the lug pattern is the same diameter as the normal steel wheels, i bet you could just weld 4 separate 2" long beads on the outside to mimic the raised areas that the hub cap grabs onto on the normal steel wheels.
THIS!!!

I want to have 4 matching 24 bolt wheels before I make them look nice. Waiting for Mike to decide he wants to trade me so I only have to take them apart and paint them once.

I wish Bro- but there's a lot of other things on my list above getting a spare at the moment... Lil Jeepus needs some love and the 6.2 needs glow plugs for starters...

I'm digging the weld idea. Before that was suggested I wondered if some button head screws could be threaded in to simulate the hubcap nubbers... Prettysure you'd be the first guy to run hubcaps on H1s and who better to claim the glory than a Nebraska feller!!

Surely you got your adapters by now... We're gonna need some pics!
The dumbasses at UPS forgot to ship them! They were supposed to be here yesterday so I emailed him for the tracking number an they hadn't left the UPS distribution center. Supposed to be here tomorrow now.
More time to paint your wheels.......

BOooooooo..
I has them. Will be putting them on after work if all goes well.
Got some H1 Hummer double beadlock wheels with brand new 37x12.5x16.5 BFG Baja T/A's.
Since the offset is so much different on H1's, I have to run these 2" spacers. Not what I wanted to do, but a lot of people do it without any problems.
This thing rides 10x smoother now with these tires than before the the TSL's it's unbelievable.
Wheels don't stick out like mexi's or anything. Looks just right.
For having the runflat centers, they still air down pretty far.

Thanks! The black looks better in person. In those pics it kinda looks meh.
My hubcaps wont fit cause of the beadlock bolts getting in the way, so im not sure what to do.
Maybe make some of these work since they're smaller in diameter? I have 3 of them.
