That would be my thought as well, just not sure I can swallow $2,000 for a set of tires on a daily driver. Mickey seems to be one of the only brands that sell them readily for them. Plus the alcoas look a little modern imo.
To add- I dont plan on just slapping 16" tires on a 16.5" wheel. I would need to reverse engineer the bead design from a 16" 15 degree taper then transplant that onto the 16.5 wheel with a 5 degree taper. Luckily I have the ability to be able to check that with a CMM to verify that it is the same. My only other concern would be that the wall would get too thin.
If only someone made an affordable 16.5 tire. lol.
