You need to watch out. I keep having wheel balance issues. It turned out that there not round. I will be replacing mine as soon as I can. They do work as advertized. Last time I had airdown my tires they keeped the bead. One tire too much air was let out by mistake. Also there also heavy. Large tires and steel wheels put added stress on CVs
Honestly, I hate the black rock crawler steet lock's (152's). The AR victor's are sweet rims, and would look great on your truck, as well as flow with the darker color scheme. So I choose #2, with #3 a close second.
I'm sorta leaning towards the AR Victor's myself now the more I stare at them. I like the fact the chrome ring accents the chrome trim. Also looks close to the newer Ford rims I think. Are these Victor's trail worthy though? I will use them, they aren't just for show...
I think they'd be fine for the trail. Plus they're coated with teflon so they should be plenty tough. I wanted to get these myself but they didn't come in a 15".

Yes you can. Ran 305/70/16 X terains until I replaced them with 35/12.5/16 SSRs. I dont recomend 16s Tire pressure for tires is 50 PSI max and you need to run at 30-32 PSI. I will be going down to 15 in rims. (Micky Thompson Classic Lock.) Most 33/12.5/15 run 35 PSI max.
Well, the Victors aren't the most expensive rims I've ever seen. Only $206 a rim. The Street Locks on the other hand are in the $80 range. And of course the ole' standby's RC Series 51's are only like $55 a rim (looking at 4WP.com pricing). So I think those are my final choices. I think I'm going to look at tire packages for 33's with these three rims and see what I come up with. Thanks for all the help/suggestions so far!
