Mkw's New 19.5 Forged Wheels Are Now Shipping

[professor39]

Hey guys Just wanted to let you all know about some big talk at SEMA this year. MKW is released a new forged aluminum 19. 5 wheel that is priced like the eagle alloy wheel but built like an Alcoa. They are direct bolt on with no spacers and use a hub centric mounting style. They are designed to be run with all six in aluminum do to the hub centric mounting but that is better in the long run anyway. They use a center cap off the their regular wheel line that is attached via two bolts from the front. whit these wheels you should have no problems running up to a 265-70r19. 5

Got any specs such as rim width, backspace/offset, and weight rating?

Well if you look at the last page I uploaded it explains all that. If you want to see it better. Right click the picture and save it or view it to you computer and you can look at it more closely.

Who is MKW, and where are they made? Are they available now?



I just spoke to Rickson yesterday, and got a quote for six wheels & tires. I'm afraid to go with the Eagle Alloys as they are cast, and not forged. I'm looking at 19. 5's for the extra security, due to the heavy weight I run, and I'm afraid of a cast wheel.



If the MKW's are comparable to Rickson, Weld, and Alcoa, but as cheap as Eagles, then I'm in...



Where and who do I contact?

looks like the dodge , chevy , ford rims are 4000 lb loads? I emailed them regarding their specs and prices, and where they are made etc. I wonder if they are china made. . that would put off a bunch of people.

Later

Yes these wheels are forged like an Alcoa. but priced like much less then Rickson.

 

[Burner]

What's the catch???????

 

[TruckWorkz]

FYI- Welds quality is not what it used to be!!!!

 

[CUMMINZ]

I hope they give Rickson a bunch of competition. It is about time for some good priced wheels.

 

[Burner]

I cannot understand how a steel Rickson is higher than a forged (?) Mkw? I hope this isn't a "get ya pay for" deal.

 

[CUMMINZ]

I am also concerned about the photos. The 8 lug hole pattern looks larger that a dually DC wheel. Being 4000# cap. that could be a wheel for the new 4500/5500 trucks.

 

[JFlagg]

Do they have these for SRW trucks?
