(PICS) Calling All Rim Experts!!!

Dig the title? ;P I bet Wandell knows the answer to this!

I need to know the rims that are in my sig, I've looked everywhere. I believe they are 6-spoke rims, not sure on the brand or anything of that nature. I too would like to know the "rough" tire size and wheel combo (i.e. 20" rims, 37"x12.5" tires would be my guess) I have the original pic and I shall post it below, thanks for the help.

Edit: I came up with an idea, so I did my best to help you find the rim. It is 22", not sure on the width.

I've seen that same wheel (or something almost identical) on a Dodge Ram in a magazine add with 37x12.50-22 Toyo MT's. It may have been a Superlift add.

You've found it! Thanks for the help guys, now I have to find this sucker in 22" wheel size. Wheelsandtires.com is down.

Edit:
They are the MK-19's, not 27's, but they cost an arm and a leg:
MK-19. I really, really want these rims, we'll see if I fork out the cash.

Thanks so much for your help! $500+/rim, but I think I'm going to do it.

Edit#2:
I found another alternative:
Ion Style 165's But they are only 20's, wandell, think they would look as good on 36 or 37's?

I wish they had these in 22's

Question #2:
Are the wheels that are on the truck polished or chrome?

My guess is the above picture is chrome, and the picture I first posted is Polished. I really hate that bling bling look on the above image, and like the first image better, they come in those 2 options, Chrome or Polished.

Actually, I think a 20 inch wheel would look a little better with a 36 to 37 inch tire.

Polished are very hard to keep clean and stain very easy. I would go with the chrome. I have had both.

I'll never have another set of polished rims on a vehicle that I drive regularly. What a pain in the **** to keep shiny.

Yep, I found the add. It was a Superlift add and it said they were MKW wheels with 37x13.50-22 Toyo's.

Thanks bud, I am glad that my "photoshop experiment" worked out well.

As for FreekyFx4, those say 20x10's, the 10 means 10" wide correct, well the tires are 13.5 that I want. Wandell, maybe you can answer.

Yeah, the 10 refers to the wheel's width. A 13.50 tire will be fine on a 10 inch wide wheel.
