Default Method "The Standard" wheels & Cooper AS3's on 08

Made a new thread as I couldn't edit my original post in the other. Anyhow,
nothing crazy like a lot of the setups here, but I couldn't get huge wheels and tires, they'd be too heavy for the little 4.6 plus I'm stock height. For a stockish type look I am really happy with the overall setup. The guys at the wheel place complimented it too, and the GF also really liked them

Thanks man. I know most people here like black wheels but I'm old school

The 17" tires I had on before (non AT) were smoother, and you can feel the added weight of the new setup but these tires are still very quiet and smooth on the highway, and it overall looks much better.

It really does look better in person too. For starters the wheels look bigger in person. It's just hard to capture it in the pics

That set-up looks great! Since you have chrome bumpers, a set of factory chrome steps would really tie it all together. I like all wheel colors, depends on the vehicle color. I am not a black wheel fan, so mine are graphite.

Not usually a fan of chrome rims but they do look nice with the chrome bumpers. Nice seeing someone else with methods tho

The wheels are actually polished aluminum with a clear coat, although the center cap and lugs are chrome.

Yeah that might be a good idea. I didn't even know they made them in chrome. Are they the same as mine, except chrome? Wonder how heavy they are though...

This truck is already so slow, I had to add more weight, lol.

But I still love the truck!

They are very light. They arent like yours though, they are more of a bar. Like this:
