Check out rickson wheels http://www.ricksontruck.com/, pricey but a direct bolt on with no adapters needed and from what i understand a very high quality wheel, be advised though, from what i understand discount tire and possibly others are now refusing to touch 19.5's because they say they are dangerous to mount, although i've mounted plenty of 19.'5 with no problems.

I don't know of any regular tire shops that will mount high-pressure tires... need to know someone or go to an OTR shop.

Discount Tire should still carry the 19.5" Vision alloys.

Eagle Alloys makes a 19.5" direct bolt-on aluminum wheel. I don't know how strong they are, but they look good and are probably alot cheaper than Rickson.

Hey oldschool, got a link or more info about the 19.5" Eagle alloys?

Sawmill - Discount Tire had the Vision alloys for ~ 2 & a quarter each..
