I'm looking for Mickey Thompson classic 3 wheels 16x12 8x6.5 (see pic) there not in stock anywhere Mickey Thompson says there made overseas (which i don't like) and are waiting on shipment.
Does Anyone use theses rims? Good Or Bad?
Im sure it's been discussed but it seems imposable to find wide rims that Arnt 20''
If anyone has suggestions on a different brand similar style in this size I'm all ears.
thanks

I bought a set in that size when the III's were fresh to the public. I've been happy with them. The finish has actually held up way better than I expected. I thought they were going to turn dull in a year, but here it is several years later and they still look presentable. I really do need to polish them though, before they get too bad.

Mine came with the suburban when I got it. Only had them 4 months but they really have held up great so far, I'll let you know how they hold up after the winter. These are my one of my favorite wheel styles.

I always ran US Mag Indy 101, they have 17X10, but I contacted them, and they were very responsive, and would put in any BC you want on any size wheel, Ex., 15X10 8X 6.5. The ones in the pic are, unfortunately, 16.5 X10, tires are 12.5X33.
