I don't think it's "safe" i don't know why you can have 22 aluminum milled but i have read some where you can't mill steelies? IIRC

The 19's I am getting from Lock1 are
actually 19.5's that he's milling down
I bet it could be done with steelies ?

(Lock1 will correct me if I'm wrong, lol)

Steel wheels can not be milled.

Why not? sorry for the NOOB question but if aluminum can why not steel?

I believe there isn't enough material on the steel wheels to machine the beads. Aluminum wheels are thick.

Wide Load is correct. There is not enough material on the steel wheels to machine the seats correctly. Aluminum wheels are the only wheels that can be done this way.

Ok thanks. Looks like i'm going alcolas than. Was going to go for the "stock work truck" look but lowered of course but if the 19.5 wont work might as well go to rig wheels.
