Missing hole in Mojave spare rim?

[Jaxmax]

Never really noticed but my spare rim has a blank area where a hole should be , I assume this is normal but why, of course I reached up and felt around and yes the valve stem is directly opposite of the blank spot on rim. So it is a balance thing I guess, unless I am the only one with the rare valuable factory balanced race version rim only on the ultimate version of the Gladiator, the almighty
MOJAVE! Have at it guys and gals!…..Jack

"Well, the supervisor told me to just make 19 big holes, so I followed his directions."

 

[Jaxmax]

I just counted yup 19!…Jack

If you look at this long enough, an illusion forms giving a weird sense of inversion, like Penrose stairs.

We’ll, I actually searched a bit found guys selling spare steel rims and they have 20 holes evenly spaced, yup I counted twice had to use both hands twice but 20 holes! Huh!

I like it!

Is this one of the "Easter Eggs" ???

We’ll I think it is a Mojave thing, we will have to see if someone else (Florida Mojave) is a hole short! If only Mojave’s have it what the hell!….Jack

Might make sense, since the Mojave offset is different, so they might get a different spare tire part number.

@Jack...JAXMAX Well looks like we are missing hole brothers...interesting fact you found!!!

Actually, I believe the missing hole distinguishes the Mojave spare wheel from other wheels with different offset. At least, it makes sense.

Huh! Look at that.
I've gathered 3 of those wheels so far and all have 20 holes.
I"m curious if it is a Mojave thing but have no idea why the spare wheels would be different.

 

[cb4017]

Well, a different wheel for offset would make sense. PN?

 

[Jaxmax]

? BOOM! ? Imagine that well might prove that the Mojave spares are with the wider offset, would make sense. Although I like the idea that they are a special alloy balanced at the factory to offset the valve stem weight and are the most sought after steel rims out there worth perhaps hundreds a rim! Thanks guys at least I know I’m not loosing my mind, then again how many nut case Mojave owners actually crawled under their Mojave and counted to 19?? Haha!….Jack

 

[Jaxmax]

We’ll with me I counted three. LOL!?
