Rickson Forged Alloy 19.5 Rims - FINALLY

[gardnerteam]

After being ordered for 5 months, my Rickson 19.5 Polished Forged Alloy rims for a single rear wheel 2500HD FINALLY arrived. Look somewhat like the factory alloy, but in a 19.5. Workmanship and appearance look excellent. Factory stock hub caps fit. Can't wait for winter to end to put them on. Anyone want a set of 16X8 Weld Outbacks with 305/70/16 load range E?

How much tread left on the tires? Got any pics? How much do you want for them?

gardnerteam,

If you don't mind, please post a few pics of your new wheels when you get the chance. Thanks.

Won't get the new wheels on until spring as I run studded ice tires until then. This year they have been a necessity. The wheels look like a huge highly polished factory alloy. I went to the 19.5 to get the load rating (wheel is 4500) and to be able to run tall narrower tires. For my use, wider is not better, cuts MPG, and besides, I want a 4200+ rated tire. The Nitto's were the best I'd run (and I have tried lots of tires including Michelin - none held up to the Nitto E rated), but I really needed a narrower tire as my truck is not a street queen, but a jungle -itch that is not allowed breakdowns as it is always over 400 miles to a spanish speaking near dealer whose parts supply is 4000 miles away in the US (2 weeks at best for a part), no tow trucks (tow burro's are very slow), and no mechanics with any knowledge of Duramax or Allison. So far, 60,000 miles without a bleep!
Nitto's are 45% to 50% left with about 15,000 miles on them. gardnerteam@bendcable.com
