Thanks Buck. I love the rims. You don't see to many like them around here. They are pretty unique but a pain in the you-know-what to clean! I absolutely hate the brake dust!!!

Tires - ProComp's -
325/60R18 Extreme's
I could have gone to 35's but I wanted nothing to do with possibly "trimming" parts of my truck, so I played it safe and I have no rubbing with these.

I have researched different black exhaust tips. Heck, I even have a set of black chromed, but everyone that I have talked to has told me that eventually, the coating peels off, due to the heat. All the black or black chrome tips that I have seen are not double-walled. My Magnaflow's are double walled and the dang things are turning freakin' gold from the heat! I have talked with Magnaflow reps and they have told me that it is 'usual' for this to happen. Pisses me the heck off though! I am about ready to give up and give in and stay with "gold"! (Nope, I will eventually find black tips that will work!!)

Thats good u like them. I am trying to decide on what rim and tire combo to get myself. Thats a good point about the finish of the tips coming off due to heat. I would suggest u seriously look into ceramic coating the tips black. jethot coatings are top of the line and will hold up to the heat guaranteed, plus they can do a black ceramic coating finish
