Large wheels for BR2500's

All,

I'd like to know if any of you have purchased 19.5" wheels (or larger) for your 2500, and how much you like (or dislike) them. In particular, has anyone bought from Rickson? They seem like they actually care about their customers.

Also, does anyone have experience with the Michelen XZT tires? These look like very agressive treads, which I need where I live, but I wonder how well they'll stand up over the next couple of years, on highway and off. I've just about worn out my BFG Mud Terrain tires in 15,000 miles, and I obviously don't want to go through another set that quickly again.

Thanks,

Don
