I like them.....how much tire are you going to put on? That will make a difference for me.

Ryan,

A week ago I would have agreed with you, but in my searching I fin myself gravitating towards black. So I'm gonna trust my gut and try something new. I've never had black wheels before so I might go for it.

Roy,

They are blingy, but I found that straight black turned me off.


I'm really interested in suggestions though. Even chrome l. My requirements are 18x9. And 6x135mm bolt pattern. Either centerline or slight negative offset.

I am a 100% chrome guy....BUT, chrome requires maintenance especially if you live in a seasonal climate....it's why I went with a polished silver on my KR.

But there is something to say (for me anyways) about an all (or mostly) black style theme to a truck....you'll see a lot of them up here in Maine and they look pretty good and have wheels like this one.

well, after the turbo went down the doodoo hole on the superduty i decided best to wait on wheels for a while. so i went ahead and just got tires.

I forgot to take a pre-lift picture because i thought i had some...nope. so heres an approximate pic of what it looked like before (not my truck) but similar ride height

Heres what it looks like now. (my truck)



3inch lift in the front 2 in the rear.

You would be amazed at the difference in ride quality of the new tires vs the old ones. Im not longer unhappy with the lift as the new tires compensated well beyond what the lift did to negatively effect ride.

Looks very nice. I like it. But now you have me curious as to where the upper shot was taken. Sorry, I can't stay on task very long.......
