(I saw for myself as it was spinning on the balancer.) So that is a good reason to get a new set of wheels 
Any suggestions? 16" wheels with 235 85 16E. Here is a pic of the wheels I now have. Anyones pics of their custom wheel would help.Looking at new wheels

Looking at new wheels
Got my new tires Saturday, took the 68 back today due to a light shimmy I didn't have with the old tires. Turned out one of the wheels that was on the back when I bought the truck was shifted to the front when the new tires were installed, and it was slightly out of round (I saw for myself as it was spinning on the balancer.)

May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.

Re: Looking at new wheels
Here's my vote:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-236882/ I really like the look and they won't break the bank too bad either. These wheels look decent and would probably be my second choice:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-5 ... /?rtype=10 Good luck getting new wheels! Sorry to hear about what happened though

I have run the AR-23's on a couple different trucks back in the late 90's and they looked great, one of my favorite wheels. Simple and classic. I would suggest getting a wheel in 16x7's though, 16x8's are a bit too wide for the 235/85R16's you have. They will fit, but to me they look a bit funny, like the sidewalls are being stretched out.

I run 256-75R-16 to keep my speedo in check on my F-250 originals were 16-5 so theses are the same diameter as 16-5.
