My experience with Stockton was satisfactory. For the record, I have no relationship with them except for being this one time customer. There was some delay in that I was quoted 4-6 weeks to completion and it took about 14 weeks with shipping. I was not especially in a hurry and I am so used to this sort of thing, it didn't concern me. Stockton took off-the-shelf Accuride rims and manufactured new centers to the proper bolt pattern and hub diameter. The workmanship looks excellent (to my novice eyes). One consideration is shipping as the rims are heavy and that is why I chose someone reasonably close. If you choose a firm that is going to cut out your old rim centers, just be aware that my old rims, including the spare, weighed 440 lbs (by the way, all that good ol' American steel got me exactly $4.40 at the recycle center---yup, a penny a pound!!). So, to ship your old rims would add to the cost. If you are close you will save on both ends.
Regarding pictures, I will work on that. May have to call on Lightholder himself (my son) for assistance. You don't really need them, just imagine a little more rim and a little less rubber and that is what you get.
HevyHauler, I was worried about tires too wide, changing the appearance and making it too hard to steer, so that is why I went with the 9x22.5s. I have found the steering easier now but most likely due to the fact I can put proper pressure in the front tires for the first time.
Nice picture Truckdog. Not only is the tire O.D the same, which affects appearance, and preserves speedometer accuracy, but the rim I.D. is important in clearing those massive rear brake drums.
