Looking through the threads, it seems that there are several alternatives for SRW (in the US market)
1. Recentered HMMWV wheels from Trailworthy Fab - http://www.trailworthyfab.com/Custom-Hummer-Wheels-w-Tire-Combos/
I like the beadlocks and the ability to mount new tires in the bush, but am concerned that this solution would effectively derate the GVWR at the rear axle.
Trailworthy has built Fuso rims and understands what we are trying to do.

$1200/ 4 rims
2. All Terrain Warriors wheels - http://allterrainwarriors.com/products.html#wheelsandtires
Seems a very solid traditional (non-beadlock) steel wheel, with no concerns about GVWR impact.
ATW imports/resells these rims and wheelsets.
*** Responds to emails / phone calls ***
$2685/ 5 rims
3. Earthcruiser wheels - http://www.earthcruiser.com.au/specifications
I've found less information about these on the web than the others, but seems like an intriguing option especially since there is discussion of a beadlock wheel. Some of the photos seem to show an aluminum rim - which I assume is machined not cast but still not rock solid as the heavier steel rims.
4. Rickson Wheels - http://www.ricksontruckwheels.com/drw-to-srw.php
*** Rickson does not respond to emails ***
[5. Stockton wheels - http://www.stocktonwheel.com/
not seriously considering them due to multiple issues cited here and elsewhere but mentioning for completeness. Reported to be under new ownership so may be worth a re-look in the future.]
6. Firematic Wheels - http://firematic.com/fireshop/store1.cgi?p_id=RIK10B195&xm=on
19.5" rims with 36" IROKS, slightly wider rim than ATW, can handle GVWR no issues. $565/rim.
*** Firematic does not respond to emails ***
7. Stazworks - http://www.stazworks.com/rims.htm "Made to order 20" HEMMTT rims" up to 10,000 pounds per wheel. $300/rim raw
I've read through most of the forum posts but may have missed something - in particular interested in anything that gives more info on the earthcruiser options.
