Anyone with Rickson wheels on their truck?

[Motorhead]

I am due for tires on my '07, 5.9. I have thought about a set of Rickson steels with a 225-70-19.5 tire.
Anyone have them and what do you have to say about the ride and if you wish you HADN'T put them on your truck?

Another possibility would be to buy 275-70-18E take-off tires and wheels from a 2013 on ebay.

Have you seen these on eBay recently? Are they the same bolt pattern as the 12's and earlier?

There are a couple sets on ebay right now. I believe the bolt pattern is the same. I don't know when Ram went from the 9/16 x 18 thread used on my 2004 to the M14 x 1.5 used on my 2013 so be careful what lug nuts you try to use. The threads are close and the wrong nut will thread on several turns, then jam. There are some Big Horn and some Laramie style wheels that I saw.

I bought a set of 12 take offs and got the lug nuts with them. They were the metric threads and I ended up having to use my original nuts on the 12 wheels. They were identical in appearance other than the thread. I found one set of 18s on ebay, they werent even the premium wheels and the bid was already up to $1500. I would not mind a set at the right price.

So on the Rickson wheels, what offset do I want? I don't want them sticking out. I think Vision wheels make a heavy hauler style 81 and they are either 0 offset or +25. I like the SATIN BLACK Vision wheel.

I have a coffee can full of 9/16 thread lug nuts that have a shoulder for the center cap to pop onto. OTOH, I have no spare M14 lug nuts for my 2013. I figure they will show up on ebay as soon as some 13s get wrecked or people go to aftermarket wheels that need different nuts.
