Try Circle, or Diamond, they may still make 'em.
But yeah, if you can't find any cheap 16s, 18s are the way to go!
And almost anything will work better than those T/As!


Sorry you didn't notice my post from 4/20 about Diamond wheels!


Oh i saw it, but you lost me at "very heavy". The 15's i have in mind are 19lbs. I just thought a similar rim in 16" might be just a hair over 20... but nope. I have zero interest in a 25lb rim (further, the 16's i found on Ebay were over 30!!!). I just sold my last set ov Ramcharger 15x8" steelies (that i could have used my redline caps on), because they were too heavy.

I'm going 18" as soon as i find that big bag o money i've been looking for on the side ov the road. Until then... its 15x8", lightweight steel and sh!t 295 50 15 BFG radial TA's. Unfortunately.
