When you want what you want... Sometimes you gotta pay. Ask your fishing buddy what he paid for his boat.... Never mind, his outboard. Mine admitted to ten grand to clamp a new one to his 15 year old boat. And I won't even get started on a couple of golf guys.... Just see what you can get for ten years of membership dues in 2028....

I’m gonna assume you either don’t know, and/or don’t care to answer my questions up in post 45. So I’ll continue to believe that I got it close to right. What I find interesting is that you were able to mount true (rigid bead) truck tires on them. I wrongly guessed that the rims would have required a vintage car tire with a more flexible bead. They are very nice. Stu

When I get the paper work ill let you know but they are a vintage tire manufacture. They matched the tire to the rims but were out. We had to wait 60 days for them to run the tires, normally in stock.

Much appreciated. The sticker on your tire says it was made by S.T.A., which is Specialty Tire of America. This is an old American company based in Indiana, PA. They are the formerly named Carlisle Tire Company. I visited them a couple years ago and bought a set of their traction 18” tires for my truck. I’ve also spoken with one of their tech desk guys to help another FTE member sort out tire options on his truck. I’m glad yours are in hand and have turned out so nice. Stu

Hey thanks for the info!! The rims and tires look great. I know 5500 is a chunk of money, but now you have a combo that any big rig tire shop will service. I only have one shop in my area that will work on my lock-ring rims and I don't know what I'll do if they retire. I also had no idea that STA (Carlisle) had 7.5x20 tires. Indiana Pa is only about 1 hour from my house. Maybe I missed it, but what was the name of the company that made your rims? Thanks again for the info.

Very cool. Surface rust was a selling feature of my rig.
