Bought new wheels!
I treated myself to a BD present and bought some Eagle Alloys for my dent. I went old school 16 1/2 x 12. Yeah crazy huh? Well believe or not 16" rubber seems to cost quite a bit more than 16 1/2"... go figure that.
I went back and forth between these and Mickey's but the classic III's don't come in this size anymore and my existing 35's are not ready to be tossed yet.
The Eagle Alloys are also close to extinction (obsolete). I tried ordering through Summit but they told me they are obsolete and cannot be ordered then offered up some black Bart wheels which don't look bad but they did not have the classic look I wanted. I found a listing on ebay for the Eagles a while back but they had disappeared. I contacted the seller and he replied with a message and a re-listed a set for me. He told me that they make em but in small runs and since they are not very popular don't carry much inventory. He said Eagle had two sets and I got one... so just FYI.
Anyhoo the seller on ebay is Custom-Performance-Products and seems to have good ratings and such.
6" lift kit is next
Okay now go ahead and drool....

STA Super Traxion Light Truck Bias Ply Tires
Just bought these in 9.50x16.5 for my 79 F250 4x4... I will have to get a pic, mounted them on my "old school" slotted mags 9.75x16.5, they are a tad shorter than the 31" stated, could be due to the 9.75 rim width...?
BTW,,, looks good KIKKUP

KIKKUP nice set of rims can't wait to see them mounted.
Military Humvee take off's are around 50 to 80 a piece depends where you shop and the tread %. My Craigslist has them all the time and there is a guy in OKC that has them by the truck loads, cheap.
Hummer/Humvee Military tires new & used 37x12.50x16.5
HUMMER TIRES (with double beadlocks)
Not bad for 37" tires and rims......
Most take offs are:
Good Year Wrangler MT II bias ply 36x12.50x16.5 The bias ply do not wear the best or have the best wet road pavement manners. But are tough treaded.
Good Year Wrangler MT Radials 37x12.50x16.5 great tire but like the bias are HEAVY like 80 lbs apiece? Better tire than the bias ply, of course they are radial's.
Or the newer MT/R in a 37x12.50x16.5 its like a BFG Baja TA radial. Great tire so I hear, I am looking for a set right now.
