19.5" wheels

[hammersley]

I contacted Rickson and for my 2001 they only have a powder coated steel wheel... ... that seems like a mess waiting to happen with rust etc (from tightening the lug bolts, mounting the tires etc). Who makes an aluminum wheel or something that won't be a maintenance nightmare - and I don't mean polishing or any anal thing like that... .

My Ricksons catalog shows steel and aluminum wheels available for your truck. What undertrained phone monkey were you talking to at Ricksons?

WELL HERE IT IS. THE MOST EXCITING NEWS, FOR ME ANYWAY. www.BUDNIK.COM IN JUST 6 TO 8 WEEKS TIME WILL MARKET A 19. 5 TO BOLT RIGHT ON TO OUR TRUCKS. NO ADAPTERS! THEY ALSO HAVE 17'S THAT BOLT TO OUR TRUCKS. THEIR PRODUCTS ARE FORGED AND I BELIEVE ONE PIECE ONLY, YAHOOOO! I HOPE OTHER TDR MEMBERS ARE AS EXCITED ABOUT THIS INFORMATION AS I AM. PARDON THE "ALL CAPITAL FONT", THIS IS JUST HAPPINESS! PERSONALLY I WOULDN'T PUT STEEL WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE AS AN IMPROVEMENT. YOUR DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF THE UPGRADE BY DOING SO. STICK WITH THE "FORGED WHEEEL". I SPOKE TO ALCOA TWICE IN THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS OR SO ABOUT THEIR 19. 5 WHEELS. THEY WERE TO BE MARKETED ALREADY BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE 19. 5'S AND HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHEN THEY WILL PRODUCE THEM.

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL AND CAREFUL DRIVING OUT HERE IN THE CONCRETE WILDERNESS, DIRT TOO.
