Got my 16.5x10 6lug series 31 rockcrawlers today. Even got a 5th to match
I am kinda suprised theres no blue/red pin striping on them like I see on most.



Sorry for crappy image sony made a dog of a camera 3 years ago...

 

The gay pride pinstriping is only on American Racing rims ...

 

Hey now, no reason to hate on the AR's...

(I couldn't get that stupid pinstriping off mine... )

 

Ah alright good I dont really want it anyway...

I just realised how many tire sizes they make in 16.5... 38's,36's,39.5's,42's,37's,35's,33's,34's. I'm suprised.

 

come on now, theyre a very nice wheel

 

Question is are they cheaper... I may need some different rims one of these days and dont know what size to go with, tire price will probably dictate it though.

Nice rims... way easier to maintain than some chrome rims.

 

why 16.5? 16" usally are cheaper

 

I'm not hatin' on the American Racing rims - I have a set of AR767's in my garage waitin' on me!

 

I went 16.5's for a few reasons. One my first set of 36's are budget oriented being military tires that only come 16.5. Two they make plenty of sizes as I have said for the 16.5 wheel. Three I happen to like the 16-16.5 size especially when you get to a bigger tire. For some reason despite my liking 15's too I think they look goofy with 38's + wrapped around them. And four the smaller the side waller better the onroad turning/ handling is.

As for the whole, o 16.5's loose a bead at 5psi really easily thing: I dont plan to ever run below probably 20, 15psi lowest. If I ever get into hardcore rocks (where in NJ?) I'll throw a beadlock kit on the wheels.

BTW the tires for 16.5 wheels arent the cheapest. I was looking and generally 16.5 tires are a heavy duty ply for some reason. An example would be a 36x14.5 radial TSL being $280 for a 15in and $295 for a 16.5. I was happy to see tire sizes I plan to run in the 16.5 wheel size. When i buy TSL's in the future they will either be 36x14.5's ,38x15.5, 38x12.5, or 39.5x15's.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

The red on the wheel will accent the red on your truck quite nicely, I think...

 

give me a decent resolution picture, and i'll photoshop it for you

 

I think they would look kinda like this:



(I sold the tires, still have the rims)
