Rickson Steel 19.5 wheel update

I can vouch for the wheels being a great product I have had mine for a year, I could not be happier! It does take some time but well worth the wait good people and easy to work with. Still waiting for some trim rings, for looks only, they are having trouble finding a supplier for those.

I have owned 4 different sets of Rickson wheels - 2 sets of Eliminators and 2 sets of Steel wheels.

With the steel wheels, you can specify your custom wheel offset and powder coat.

I still have a set of the Aluminum Eliminators in my shop. They don't fit my Dually.

Bryan...just curious...where was the cost savings? What was the alternative?

Other than Stockton (which are less expensive AFAIK) is there another Custom wheel Mfr?

Thanx, Bill

I would rather do business with them than get Chinajunk!

I was told up front that the time frame was 14 to 18 weeks for delivery and I was fine with that. I made this post just to confirm to others what the realistic time frame is. Les Schwab is handling the order and communications with the mfg for me. So far I am satisfied with the process.

I am a customer and fan of Rickson Tires and Rims. They are a small company that manufactures in house. While it would be a big benefit for them to expand, they remain a small company that suffers from selling a good product. My first comment is that they do have issues with taking calls and returning calls, as there is only two people doing this work. If this does not work for you, so be it and you should exercise your disappointment in shopping somewhere else.

With mine, I bought mine and they arrived a month sooner than I had expected or had requested. It often is due to the season you order. If you want a wheel, grey or powder coated, that matches perfectly your specific Manufactures' offset requirement, then this is the Wheel you want. Using shims and other means works, but is not the perfect set up.

For me, I purchased 7 wheels and tires and had them shipped to a will call. I dropped my motorcycles at a nearby business parking lot, picked the mounted tires and wheels up at a ground FedEx terminal and went back to the parking lot, mounted them and met the person buying my OEM rims and wheels to rid myself of them. Worked great for someone that does not have a drive way, garage to do all of this swapping.

From the moment these wheels and tires hit the ground to 11 3/4 months later, they have been perfectly matched. No alignment, no balancing or tracking issues. More than pleased and saved a bunch of money, even with shipping costs.

Yes, there can be a time delay in getting them to you, but often good things take time. I couldn't be happier.

I looked into Ricksons and asked my camper dealer about them. He said he waited 4 months before he got some for a customer. Originally they told him a month. After numerous phone calls and a few unreturned calls he got them. He said he could not recommend them to me and to look elsewhere. Problem is they are the only ones who make custom 19.5's. Other stories I've read on here duplicate what my dealer went through.

wow.... 2.5 months ago you placed the order, and they are "just now" getting the "material" to begin production....

sounds like a fishy operation to me. I hope they haven't charged your credit card for the order yet.
