New Heavy-Duty Wheels Cut Cost of Operating 1-Ton Pickups


Vision Wheel has introduced a series of 19.5" heavy-duty styles that reduce the cost of operating 1-ton pickups.

The wheels create a combination of increased load and ride stability, safety, higher tread wear and savings in operating cost of as much as 70 percent over the OEM 16- and 17-inch tire/wheel combination.

The wheels offer a true 19.5 truck tire option that decreases tire operating costs dramatically during the 100,000-mile life of the tire size upgrade with no need to re-calibrate the speedometer.

Other features include: direct bolt application; no spacers or adapters needed; hub rings for dualie applications; standard duplex conical seat lug nut application and center caps for aluminum wheel applications.

Wheels are available in chrome, machined clear coat and silver steel.

False claim

The comment about testing failure is false and anyone that wishes to have a copy of the test reports from Standard Testing Lab located in the US can request from Vision Wheel. These 19.5 wheels passed all testing as advertised.

Vision Wheel has their wheels manufactured in China and under normal circumstances that is not an issue. Vision had some of their wheels tested for load capacity in a controlled lab setting and the results were not favorable. The real problem is they are still shipping these wheels to distributors and private buyers...I should know because I am currently employed and one of the distribution centers.
