WOW! Some of those forged aluminum wheels and those Michelin XDE2+ 285/70/R19.5's would look sweet with a 2" leveling kit.

$6000 would be a little hard to spend on something that wears out that fast!

Jrs:
What did those do to the ride height/ quality? They must be pretty firm?

Cool looking though.

I hardly noticed a difference in ride quaility when unloaded, but when loaded its a world of difference. Alot more firm and solid. IMO it is worth every penny if you tow heavy.

Those are commercial tires and should last well over 100K miles on "most" of our trucks.

I've been riding the fence on Rickson's for about 3 years now. Everytime I spend another $1000 on tires I think about how I would have only replaced one set of tires if I had them.

You need to check out my new ones next time I see you...hopefully they're here by then

Yokohama's are on a boat, 8 weeks away from shore

Rickson even makes them for us first gen guys that have the coinde/stud centric wheels. If you have the money for high end alloys you could check Brentz-Wheels. He and rickson are good freinds. Rickson supplys the steel inner wheels for Brentz.

I would love to check out the Vision 19,5's. I have heard people get them for around $160/each which I think is very reasonable. Haven't seen any pics ON Dodge trucks though!

While not forged or steel they are rated for 4500-5000 lbs and that is what it comes down to, right? I don't know of 245/70/19.5 will fit on a 2WD 2nd gen though.

Got mine for $200/each out the door. Lug nuts were extra, but center caps came with them!

I need to snap a few pictures of my wheels, huh??
