16.5" H1 HMMWV wheels installed

It's not the rims that will cost the money its the tires. Surplus right now are cheap but look at the brand name tires...you'll be blown away at the price of the rubber. That's what turned me off of the idea.

They look hands down awesome but I'd rather stick with a standard 17" wheel and pay less for rubber down the road.

Can't you get the 16.5s milled down to 16? I thought there was a thread about that...

I thought someone said they could be rolled down or however they do it to 16's but pretty sure no one has attempted it.

Someone aftermarket should just come out with wheels that look the exact same but one piece in different sizes-I'm sure they'd sell pretty good!

The 24.5" Alcoa's on my diesel had to get milled down to 24" to accommodate a street tire. It is doable. I am not sure the difficulty or if shops will attempt them.

Yeah I've heard of some shops who won't even balance them due to them being 2 piece O-ring and mine proof run flats. Probably have to find a good machine shop willing to take then on and even at that I would be weary of the rims after.
