Looking for some wheels
I think I want to go to a 12" wide wheel, I like the looks of them better than my 9.75" wheels I run now.
Anybody got some, or know the best place to get them??
I would need them in 16.5"
I haven't decided which wheel, so Im open to what ever.
Wheels that is....keep your perved out thoughts to yourself Abendx...

Don't forget to watch the bolt pattern. I'm completely PO'd right now. I have a brand new set of BFG 33x12.5x16.5s on nice slotted aluminum mags. They came off my '84 F250 and won't fit on my '04. It's so close it would scare you. I'd love to find a set of wheels they'd fit to go on my '04. No money right now though because I went back to school last year. I'm lucky to make the payments on the truck and still be able to feed my wife and son!

Dave, I found an 1985 F250 4x4 for you to use your wheels on, and it's cheaper than buying new 12x16.5 wheels! Only $600!!! It even has a free mouse nest in the bell housing! The add doesn't say whether it's a Serial or USB mouse nest though. Probably Serial back in 1985.

Nice! A little buff job and she'll be new again! Too bad I have an '85 and an '89 F250 in my back yard that I'm trying to unload. Too many s'cans... I'm trying to consolidate. No time for all my projects. The wheels will fit either of the ones in my backyard, but I don't want to sell the trucks with my wheels on them. The style wheels are hard to come by now and I figure I'll probably have another one someday... Had to evict a couple of mice out of an Olds I unloaded yesterday. Poor damn things, 15 degrees outside. Better them then me!

I like the Weld Mountain crusher or stone crusher's, I just don't like the price. So that being said, Im looking at the Mickey Thompson Classic-II and the Eagle AE-589's
If I could find used, that would be fine too

I have the welds you're looking at. Only 16" x 10" size though. They are very nice wheels.
I also have the MCII's. Can't complain about them. They are nicer than the eagles I almost bought. Not weld quality.
I got the Welds off ebay. Wheels show up there often. The good deals are hard to come by. I got 2 blemished welds for 150, that's 75 each, a steal then got the other 2 for 273 ea. That's why I know have 2 sets of aftermarket rims. One with all-season tires the other off-road.

Thanks Yeti, but it's going to be a while before I can afford anything. I'm in school right now with a wife and 3 1/2 year old and a mortgage etc... Tis' a delicate balance.
Those look like some nice wheels too. My buddy wants my tires so I'm probably going to sell them to him and then pick up some 16" 33s or 35s that will fit on my stock rims when I'm done with school. I really like the looks of my stock rims believe it or not. Check out the pics in my gallery.

Shoot me a email
I may have mine for sale if and when I pick up some new ones.
By the way, you know what they say about size kings and guys who drive lifted trucks.
