19.5 Wheel & Tires

Well I picked up or let's say traded a set of 2005 chrome/steel stockers for a set of 19.5's with michelins. Just thought I would post a couple of pictures and see what you thought ?

the gloss black finish is pretty overpowering. I would try a grey or silver finis and see if you can get a chrome center cap on them.

The smaller SRW UPS trucks have used a very similar 19.5 for many years.

Are they 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern though like what most full-size 8-lug truck wheels are sized at? If so, I didn't know that and you usually tend to see a lot of 19.5" wheels that have the larger diameter spacing 6-lug wheels on UPS trucks too. DLittle, I do like the wheels on your truck being that they are SRW and black paint is sharp. I was expecting to click on the thread and find it talking about 19.5" DRW, but I guess I was wrong (haha).
