Third gen aluminum 19.5's (SRW)

[SRadke]

I just contacted Rickson to get an update on the 7. 5" width aluminum 19. 5's that I had ordered back in October and they say the company they had contracted with to make them doesn't want to or is too busy to make the tooling to begin production. They have effectively cancelled this product from their line unless they decide to start making them in house and that is a ways off should they decide to do it.



After getting off the phone with them I placed a call to Alcoa and the gentlemen I spoke with there said they should have a the SRW wheels in production by November this year. I'm not going to be a happy guy if I have to replace my stockers before I can get the wheels I want!

November? that is too long, I have called them 3 times and they kept telling me spring this year. I will have to look into those 19. 5" wheels that Les Schwab sells, they are custom made only for Les Schwab by Vision. The only problem is the nearest dealer is in MT.

Yea, that and having the incorrect offset that makes them stick out and inch.

I do not know the actual specs of the wheel other than it is a direct bolt on 19. 5, what are the specs? offset and backspacing?

If you're referring to the Vision wheels as discussed in this thread, they have a +0mm offset. This is compared to the -20mm offset of the stock wheels. This will make them stick out just under an inch more than the stock wheels (assuming they have the same backspace which I am unsure of).
