I'm tossing around the idea of getting a new truck and have been making a list of things I'll want to do. One of those is 19.5" wheels so I can medium duty tires since nothing Load Range E will get the mileage I want. I've looked at all the Rickson's and their OK, nothing fabulous, Alcoa too. My question is, are there any other 19.5" options other than those 2? I like alot of the new wheels offered today, but all the 19.5" options are kinda ugly and boring IMO. Anyone got some options?

Also, SRW, I don't need training wheels.....LOL

...How about a set of used Vision's with 285/70R19.5 Yoko rubber??

They look good on your truck, but I'm not sure I would like them on a 3rd Gen. I'm REALLY picky when it comes to wheels.....I wish I could get one these in 19.5's...The Visions look good, but I would have to get a REALLY good deal on them, Any wheel I get I am most likely going to powdercoat, no more chrome or polished wheels for me....

Well, you've already found all the wheel options for 19.5" singles.

I wish you were closer so you could try these things. I really need to sell them:D

Whats the measurements on the Yoko's? Look like about 35" tall and 10-11" wide"

I think 265/70s would be just right on a 3rd Gen with 3.73's, though I like the Goodyear G-124's tread a little better. I did find these Ricksons in their customer rig section....These I could do.

Yeah...I liked these when cruising, and with 3.55's the RPM at 60 mph were a bit low, but on the highway they were great.

I love the 124's on my truck, they will pull in the mud a bit, just gotta spin the treads clean. They do a bit better than the BFG AT's that were on before them. They tend to holler at ya' though, as loud as any mud tire I've run....almost, NOTHING tops the set of old style Wrangler MT's that were on the blazer I had. They were unbelievably loud :bang LOL
