i was wondering if anyone knows where i could get some 19.5 inch wheels for my 03 dodge 3500 SRW 4x4, ive seen stockton, and rickson, they're kinda high priced, are there any more options, maybe somebody who could make me some, they ain't gotta be pretty, just black and plain, cause i really wanna spend my tire money on something that's gonna hold up to heavy towing and rough service (it stays off road at least 25% of the time), and it tows up to 25,000lbs regularly, so i wanna run those 12 or 14 ply tires that might last a little while, let me know if anybody might know somebody that builds wheels or something, thanks..

what about getting a set from a 2 ton chevy or ford and have them redrilled. it would be the cheapest way.

The rumor is that Alcoa is supposed to be making some 19.5s for 8 lug applications. I've seen prototype sets but I don't think they're for sale yet.

You would have a problem with redrilling the F-450/550 wheels - pre 97 the pilot hole is 5.46", post 99 the pilot hole is 6.69". The GMC 3500HD would be the best bet with a 5.25" bore but still would be tight.
I got a local shop to build 8 19.5"x7.5" with 6.5" offset for me to run 285's for $1500. Might want to try johns351c in the vendor section, he might be able to help you.

If they're the same as a 14 bolt, I've got 4 I'd sell you. I got them to use on my truck, then found out that my dana 70 hub woln't fit through the center hole. The problem is, I know later fords went to a metric bolt patttern, and chevys may have also, and these rims are for the good old 8 on 6.5 pattern.
