Man are those things ever ugly.... Right idea, really ugly implementation....
Okay, on second look, they're not quite as bad, but really look odd on some of the less than medium duty trucks given that they're a 20" rim.

Been around for years on class 8 trucks. Check some of the commercial hauler forums for their take on them.

Doesn't Jefe4x4 use something like that? If I recall he really liked them for offroad use.

Yeah, his are wider tires, but not as big of diameter rim.

Been seein a lot of 20" rims on 3/4 and 1ton trucks.Got them on mine ,didn't like them at first. I am currently looking to get rid of all 16" and go to 20s,even on trailers.They seem to hold up good and hold way more than the old 16"s

I think that the super-single concept is awesome!
However, the Load Range E tires that 1st Attack promoting would leave most 1-ton trucks with less load capacity than the duals they replaced. The wide rims are a good start but we need one of the tire manufacturers to step-up and produce a "real" super-single for TC owners... like the Michelin X One, in a size that we can fit on our trucks. How about a 315/55-19.5 ?

If and when I ever get a dually, I would love to put Super Singles on it too. Here is another option I had found.

And another that uses super singles. I know they are the direct suppliers of the tires and wheels, but they should be able to put you in touch with their vendors.

What is the load rating for the wheels and tires? My Vision 19.5's are good for 4,500 lbs and my load range G tires are rated even higher. These "super singles" don't appear to be anything like the super singles we see on the big rigs which are intended to emulate the load rating of a pair of similar diameter duals.
