H2 Wheels

I found a pair of H2 wheels for sale and have some questions.

1. Are there any issues with the H2 wheels not having the same "load rating" at the stockers?

2. I would only put stock size tires or slightly bigger on the H2 wheels. Do they look good with these smaller sizes?

3. What is a good price for a new set of wheels?

4. How much modification is needed to fit the Dodge lugs. I would probably bring them to a machine shop, but how much information do I need to convey to them in case they're not familiar with wheels etc.?

5. Approximate cost to powder coat wheels?

P.S. they're not "chrome" but the regular aluminum color.

TIA

I don't know. But I doubt it since they are an 8-lug wheel.

I think they look good with 285/70-17 and larger. The 265's don't look good on any rim when put under such a large truck!

3. What is a good price for a new set of wheels?
I bought mine off of Ebay for $100, but I had to pick them up (they happened to be local). Most pay a bit more. I'd say the average cost is $200.

To fit the Dodge all you need to do is have the center hole machined to 4.774". Other than that they bolt right on.

5. Approximate cost to powder coat wheels?
I was quoted $50-$70 per wheel, including any sandblasting and required cleaning or stripping. A typical wheel with in-stock colors would be $50, whereas special order colors and/or wheels that couldn't be blasted and cleaned in-house would be $70.
