yup. Im running 16.5x12 steelies. I bought my rims in white because they were $20 per rim cheaper than the exact rim in black.
$80 for white
$100 for black
probably going to 16.5x14 beadlock rears eventually

I did alot of looking around for 16.5 beadlocks and all i came up with was that since its a weird size they dont really make them in a bead lock now i could be wrong but thats just what i came up with. I'm kind of looking for a black powder coated rim but still cant find much in a 16.5

I've got some stock (i believe) bronco rims, but they suck because the design of them makes them pack mud in them and it doesn't wash out. I've got a set of steelies I'm going to clean up and have powdercoated black for my next tires.
