Hello all ... I have been looking for replacement wheels for my 2000 Lariat 4X4 and was interested in the Alcoa hot forged M/T Classic series wheel. The problem is that they are impossible to find anywhere!!! So I was looking at other brands (Centerline, American Racing and Mickey Thompson). It turns out that the Mickey Thompson Classic wheel is the exact same wheel as the Alcoa Classic, in fact Alcoa makes the wheel for Mickey Thompson. So I was happy to hear that. If anyone else is interested, the lowest price I have been able to find for 16x8 wheels is $185.00 and for 16x10 $249.00 (OUCH!!) at http://www.4wheelparts.com.

You can check out the wheels at: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/wheels.html

Should I put 16x8's or go with the wider 16x10!!!!????

I was thinking of putting 305/75's (BFG KO's) on the wheels....what do you all think? They should fit a stock 4X4 with the ORP ... I believe that they equate to 33's.

Thanks...
Steve

Well If I looked at the Right wheel I know a way you could save some $$$$
American Racing just added our bolt pattern to the Baja in a 16.5x9.75
does this look similar?
I was Quoted a whole set from National Wheel And Tire For $561.00 With Caps, Lugs And Shipping. Get These wheels and BFG 33x12.5x16.5's. Same look Right? www.natltire.com
