19.5 rims
What's up with getting the shaft on 19.5 steel rims w/ 170 mm 8 lug? Rickson wants $285 per wheel and stocton wants $275 per wheel powder coated, add 100 each for chrome. 19.5 steel stock rims for f -450's are $100 +/-. Anyone know where I can get 19.5 170mm 8 lud reasonible? I know vision has their aluminum rims, but they are lug centric, not hub centric.

When you don't mass produce a product to the level of say Alcoa does, it wouldn't be profitable to gear up to make a 19.5" wheel with an 8 lug pattern. There just isn't enough demand for them. So, that's why you see the high prices for them. You can get adapters for the 10 lug pattern, that will fit the 8 lug F350. I don't recommend them though. It just adds more weight to the wheel assemblies.
That being said, I've never regretted getting my 19.5" from Rickson. They have been flawless for a long time now.
