ive got 15's right now so i would have to buy rims if i did the kit. So i just figured why not by actual bead lock wheels.

Or is this the wrong way to think about it?

Im a noob:redneck:

About $1300 for the cheapest 17"TR. and the are a steal rim. $1200 for 17" TG and they are a alum. rim. Had both and both are good.
If you are running leaf springs you with need 2-2 1/2" back spacing and I think you can only get that with steal wheels. TG has the smallest back spacing on a alum. wheel I found and its 3 3/4" Any more than 2" B.S. your tires will rub your springs.

Are there any real disadvantages to weld on kits?

Sure, buy 'em, but you gotta pay to play. Figure anwhere from $325 to $400+ per wheel.

I can't afford them right now, but the TR forged wheels are sweet. Made in the USA too.
