The rivets were for a wear plate on the inside of the roadwheel. Some M113 wheels had them and some didn't...not sure why. We used to use the partial loss of the wear plate as a criteria for replacing the roadwheel. The wheels would go for rebuild here in Canada, and if you wore out the main part of the wheel, then there really wasn't anything worth rebuilding. There were times when there was only the center ring left from the hub....basically a small aluminum disc with 8 holes. We would have to clean them, tag them, and turn them back to supply, since they were an accountable item.
