Mickey Thompson wheels
Does anybody have a set of Mickey Thompson wheels (Classic II's or Classic Beadlocks) on your truck?? I need to find a set of wheels for my '78 F250 Crew 4x4 and kinda like the looks of these wheels but would like to see more pics of them on a 70's vintage truck. Can anybody help out on this simple request - just want to see a pic of your truck equipped with Mickeys
Thanks!

Crack??? MT's are a forged wheel - unless they've gotten cheap on the new ones. Cast wheels crack - forged wheels bend...
