Yea. That's basically what I learned. I had shown off a 16 X 10 X 8.5 at the rally last summer.....

And that is what I thought I was going to be able to run with, but come to find out 16" tire selection is not that good, and they are on borrowed time as well. I really liked the 10" wide rims better, as they were more like what I had, but for some dumb reason, they won't make a 17" any wider than an 8.
In short, I never really found what I wanted, and just had to settle for what I could get.
Russ... here's the real shocker. There are NO.... NO manufacturers of alluminum wheels for our trucks in the U.S.A. anymore. They are ALL from China, and at best some, such as these wheels are alledgedly cast in China, then machine finished here, but pretty much like so many other things, we just don't make them here anymore. I was really bummed, but not surprised. I became a hostage of the tire market. And no I'm not happy about it.
