ok i am trying to see if i can swing a set of the 37 bfg's but i am at a loss on where to get some rims. i have been looking at a set off a ford f 150. i can get 5 aluminum for 450 or 4 steel at 250. i will make my own bead locks. anyone know of a cheaper spot to find some of these bling,bling babys. i would jump on the 4 steel, if i luck across one more, i guess i will just have to start calling the yards. anyone know of some cheap after market wheels? mike

i will just throw it on a mill and rebore the wheel pattern, and bore out the center hole if i have to. but it would be nice to buy a cheap set of after market steelies

contact some of the custom wheel makers...willamette Wheel in oregon is one I can think of. Redrilling the lug pattern is a not good idea' as the lug holes aren't drilled in the wheel, they're stamped, and redrilling would likely wind up with a lug on a section that doesn't make metal to metal contact with the hub.
Looking in the beadlock section of www.rockstomper.com I saw him mention he can get 17" rims....

17 x 8's came stock on my 2001 Dodge 4x4 , and I priced 37x12.5x17 MT/R's today at a Goodyear dealer :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: and the guy told me they were............. $692 ea :eek: But if you buy before sun. you get 33 1/3 off so you can get them for...........$401 thats what he said but $401 isin't 66% of $692 but at $400 + they can keep them. Then he told me if I open a Goodyear charge I'll get $50 off the total. I said then I'll takem, yea right :rolleyes: They did have a good price on the 35x12.5x15's $144 ea then the $50 off the total that would make them $132 not bad for a 35" MT/R

What are you looking to spend per wheel? What bolt pattern and wheel width?
