Which tire & wheel combination?

First I found Ricksontruck
http://www.ricksontruck.com/

Then I found a place that has Alcoa
http://www.dieselsitetoo.com/

Both sets are 19.5

What I am looking for besides esthetics is logevity and towing ability.

My first choice so far is Alcoa as you can have all 6 wheels aluminum (much easier to work wtih as steel/alum combinations can sieze together due to the salt on the roads), the load rating is higher and the wheel is wider. But the down side is they require an adapter.

Any input as to which is the better of the two? Also suggestions for tires that are snow rated? I live in CT and the winter is something I have to take into consideration.

I have been looking for wheels to dress up my 2003 350 dually - and instead of buying new wheels I have been looking at wheel simulators - they cover the stock wheel and are stainless steel.
I plow alot of snow with my truck and I have the stock General tires on my truck that I have no problem at all in any type of snow.

well i forgot to post that they have a link that will show you what your wheels will look on your truck. including different size wheels. Even if the wheels arent made for your truck you'll be able see what they look like. after you see what the wheels look like you'll be able to search the net for the wheels that you want.

www.truckxpressions.com is another good one
www.bigwheels.net is great because they will tell you which wheels and tires will fit your stock truck (not if its lifted or lowered) you'll see violet for a good fit, yellow if it wont fit.

have fun and take care everyone.
