Had them on one of my 77 F150s they are a fine rim just as strong as anything else but becoming obsolete. The tough part is finding tires for the rimes. Very few mfg's produce any 16.5's.

On a side note I am about to order some 16.5's so I can get military 37" tires

You and I are thinking alike huh?!?! have you been to:

Been looking at some of those 37's.

What rims you get? I have been eyeballing these for off roading and keeping my polished ones for the street.
