Well I scored some military 37's so I am looking for some 16.5" rims. Seems they have gotten scarce. Want some that are polished aluminum or maybe even machined aluminum. Ya'll got any sources?

Yea that's no good. The guy I bought the tires from has those same wheels. I can by a brand new set from NTW but they are over $600 and I am trying to find some cheaper.

I'll just tell ya, 16 or 24 bolt h1 wheels look tough on these trucks. The only issue is back spacing. That's easily remedied with front spacers, or recentering.
Sounds like a more cash than you're looking to spend. But I like the confidence of bead locks, special on a 16.5.

I guess it could be done. But seems like it would put more stress on the hub.
Personally, I like steel wheels.

No I am putting them on the shelf. Gonna keep both sets. When running big tires it's most cost effective to keep the options open.
