I scored some cheap 19.5"s

Ive been searching for 19.5" rims for my dually for a while now. I found a set on craigslist yesterday off of a frito-lay truck. 6 wheels and tires with great tread for $400. The center bore is 1/8" smaller on these than my factory rims, so I had to open them up. Other than that they fit great and my truck feels alot more stable. They ride a tiny bit more rough than the 16"s but its not bad at all. These are load range F and I am running them at 100psi. Theyre 33" tall and 7.5" wide. Hopefully these tires will outlast my truck.

That looks sweet! That front tire looks really skinny tho. Bet you'd see an improvement in fuel mileage as well.

U lucky dude!!!!!!!
Is that a rubber valve stem on that front wheel or is it a painted steel one? A rubber one wouldn't be good.

Is it possible to get simulators for those wheels?

Might be a frito lay truck missing some wheels soon but I would have to leave some cash with the truck, no five finger discount for me.

The valve stems are metal, I just rattle-canned the wheels black because they were all rusty. The fronts are kinda skinny, but I like the pizza cutter look! Ive been searching for simulators, but I cant find any that are 8 on 6.5. yfz450 where did you find those lug/hub caps?
