"I personally like the 10 lug appearance. The bigger sizes in 8 lug look weird to me for some reason."


Me too man, i really hate them 19"with the small bolt pattern, i bought a set had em mounted up and put on and told them to take um right back off, they looks donkesh to me.
as for the question at hand, the one thing i would like to see is what Cherryelco said, make um so theres not as much hassle putten um on, a thinner mounting surface even if it had to have a steel insert would really help, and if they were to adjust there load rating i am sure a thinner surface would pass DOT. right now with a set of alcoas on there that are rated at 7,200 pounds and weighs in at about 50 pounds each seams kinda a bit over kill to me

I prefer the look of 10 lugs, but hate the price of adaptors. I'd have to see the wheel and then make a final decision.

10 lugs has a better look but Direct Bolt on 8 lug wheel if done right would be great keeps the mod cost lower

I would like to see direct bolt 8 lug wheels, cover up the 8 with the center cap and simulate the 10 lug look. Make them fit without extending fenders, or changing the rear end in the rear. Make them fit without narrowing the control arms up front, or doing the 3/4 ton rotors. Maybe have an inner steel direct bolt 22" wheel too. Not sure if this is at all possible. Thought I would share my opinion...

Personally I would like to be able to bolt on a set of stocks and have it look factory for the winter season here in Utah (damn salt on the roads hear in Salt Lake City). Then when it warms up, then put the 22's on. If they do something like this I would be in the market for a set sometime soon for the 93 dually project I am working on now.....
