Rickson wheels

Anybody have these on their SRW dodge? I was eyeing them up (the steel ones powdercoated black with the stainless trim rings) but was wondering more about the 19.5" tires. How much worse is the ride when empty with those higher load range tires, how well do the do in the snow, and how much more wear can you get out of the tires? I think I'd probably go with the 265/70-19.5 tires. Also, would that combo rub with a 2" leveling kit?

I have them and I do not notice much difference in ride, maybe slightly firmer on the bumps and less sway. I run them at 80 lbs. Have not driven in snow yet but am told that they are great. Go here for allot of info.

I have heard that the 19.5 tow/carry weight much better. Also they say that flats are almost non-existent.
