Yeah, I have issues with the 19.5" wheels on our 2012 MH:
1. They cost a good bit less $$ to replace than the bigger 22" wheels
2. Easier to handle - Doesn't require 3 men and a $1000 impact wrench to swap one out. I can almost change a tire by myself, using a portable impact wrench.
3. If you do decide to carry a spare, a 19.5" spare is smaller, lighter, and easier to store than a 22".
Oh, wait, those are the reasons I *PREFER* 19.5 wheels, not 'issues'. :)
I have had no issues with our MH and its 19.5" wheels. For the reasons above, I actually prefer them. Like already said, I think the original poster's MH was abused somehow before, causing the damage to the wheels.
