Seems like a lot of people who don’t use 19.5s don’t know much about them. Go figure.
I've run enough trucks with 19.5s to know that unless they were needed for load capacity, I wouldn't run them on a personal rig for appearance or durability sake. Appearance is so limited with wheel styles, it's not even a consideration really, and durability (unless load capacity is needed), unless one is really packing on the miles, won't pencil out financially, ever.
Of course if you own a $150k brodozer jeep then $4k on truck wheels is probably not even a consideration, so go for it!
By the time one spends $4k+ to upgrade, with top quality tires, you could buy 3+ sets of LT tires. You can get new tires before winter before the old ones are completely wore out, vs keeping a marginal set of 19.5s thru the winter because they cost twice as much or more pre tire.
Just my opinion, not meant to be argumentative.
