H2 rims brother. IMO are the sharpest rim upgrade for the 2nd gen dodge srw trucks. and fit the best for backspace. its a 9" wide rim with 5.5" backspace. tucks in real nice. most aftermarket jobbers are 4-4.5" back space at best. unless special order I think.

Dave, go for the 22's or the 24's like Luke's truck. Dually truck look so tricked out ridin the big rims. Air bag it, so you can stretch out right. Twins and stacks, mega cool ride buddy.

I went to Canadian Wheel for my alcoas. Might be able to find better prices elsewhere, maybe not, I never really shopped around for mine.

I bought mine from Fountain Tire... they actually took the time to find the 19.5 rims.

*note: The Commercial Fountain Tire on 111 Ave in Edmonton.

They look nice Dave, but since you're in the polishing rim mood, I have four more for ya to clean. I had to ask. They aren't moto rims, but they still need some shining up.

What, you didn't like the beauty covers I gave you?

Have fun keeping those shiny in the winter. It didn't last long with my truck. Looking forward to seeing those on Saturday.
