Opinions on Road Ready wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for 16x7 Ford wheels (this is NOT a WTB post!) and found new aftermarket ones sold under the name Road Ready. Anyone have any experience pro/con with them? They are made in China (yeah, I know) and the sales rep says their quality is very good, have sold thousands with few if any complaints. Well, of course he's gonna say that! Anyway they have 4 1/4" backspacing and are painted, not powdercoated, and run $70 each, shipped.

Is 165.1mm 6.5"?

I just converted it on a calculator, and it is 6 1/2 inches. Looks like only 2 hubcap nubs?

I wondered about the nubs. Looks like 2 but I assumed there must be 2 more. I won't be running caps anyway, but it would be nice to have the capability.

I forgot what the metric lug pattern is. I figured with it having a decimal it must have been a conversion from SAE. There must be two more nubs not visible. Two are more pronounced than the other two and I doubt only two would hold a cap on well. I'm sure they work on disc brakes, since they are being sold as late-model wheels.
