I had a H2 and wanted to put the same Foose wheels on the truck, problems:
they don't make them any more
and they dont make them any more
Maybe ok for others and a inexpensive way to do it, but I wanted chrome and chromed H2 wheels are a pain to clean and have problems with peeling chrome.
Thanks for the suggestion!!!
You can steal a set with tires on Ebay, most H2 dealerships will screw ya.....

Gary C.....I move that you be given a doctorate degree in Generation 3 Wheelogy, you are da man!
Appreciate all your research and the findings you've presented, though not what you or many of us hoped to hear, your efforts are once again appreciated.
Was it a wheel manufacturer who indicated aftermarket wheels with the correct offset for our trucks are still a year or so away? I hope like heck it's Weld!

Weld may be making the right wheels soon.
I spoke with Gregory Smith at weld about
3 days ago and he say's that weld is in the process of approving 8 lug wheels with the proper backspacing . I heard from another reliable source that these wheels are alreadey in production and will be avalible in about 2 months. I am gonna wait and see what happens.

Thank God someone is stepping up to the plate, my 18's should be here next week, they are 18x9.5x6.12BS and using the Nitto terra grappler,,,325/65/18. Check out my gallery to see what the 315's look like. I hope the 18's look a little better.
Cool deal TB, but I think the BS should be 5.75-6.00 to get away from the tire rubbing issue.

Thanks for the info TurboBoy, I have been in contact with Kent at T-Rex engineering who has been a thorn in the side of Weld trying to get them to produce these wheels!
If Weld comes through I want 18" but as I look for tires that are 305 wide and down the only ones I can find with a good load rating are the Toyo Open Country (3080 lbs) and Terra Grappler (3080) in 285/60/18. If I wanted more choices I have to jump up to a 305/60/20" but I don't want 20s!

I want the Veloceti 8's and plan on running some BFG Mud Terrains on 18" wheels.
At over $500 a wheel I'm gonna wait and see if they go through with the program with the proper dodge off set. The 18's really limit your tire choices but I still want them.
