Default New wheels!

Finally got this truck almost done with the exterior color scheme. Just needs some paint on the wheel arch trim.

Anywhoozle, I drove 2 hours north of my house to pick up some 15x10s! Got 'em all mounted up yesterday and I'm extremely pleased with the look. And 31x10.50 fits pretty well on them, but I do have plans for 33s.

Those look good! I've got the same tire set-up and I like it. 31x10.50's on 15x10 rims, did you put them on yourself? I want to go up to 33's as well.

Looks great you should drill and tape those rims to put your stock center caps on.

I had Tire Kingdom do it. I don't have the equipment or knowledge to mount tires on my own.

I really like those wheels you have too, they look really good! Makin' me jealous over here

Nah. I thought about it, but I'm just gonna get the actual center caps for these wheels. Then paint them blue. And do a blue pinstripe on the lip

(I'm trying to get away from factory look)

Yea, I have the equipment so I do all mine, took me an hour and a half from in to out of the shop.

So I absolutely love these tires for mud, sand, water, pavement and snow BUT! These tires are blocks of rubber ice, nothin but sliding. I KNOW! I got into an accident because of them tonight.

We do all our own tires too. Its already snowing where you are what the heck im just glad i still got hopefully another couple months. Ibwas told you should always run stock tires in the winter. The truck is heavy enough to control with them at least you didnt do too much damage just a little.
