So I got the wheels back tonight. They look amazing! Will be getting them installed tomorrow.

do you have the tires yet? How do they look? I am torn between 295/60/20, 35x11.50's, and 35x12.50's. I think the 35x12.50's would be really tight on factory wheels and 2.5" level.

I have the wheels in the bed of my truck now. Will be dropping off the wheels, and black lug nuts to the tire shop that has been holding my Ridge Grapplers for a week.

I'll send pictures after they are installed... tomorrow.

I agree that a 35x12.5 wide tire may be too wide with a 4" lift. That's why I went with an 11.5 instead.

I'll see how it all turns out tomorrow.

Actually no, not Tuxedo Black... on purpose... but it came out pretty close to it. The red has sparkles that look awesome in the sunlight.

The guy who powder coated them is having professional offroad pictures taken later this week.

Great question. I had an upgraded exhaust on my 2011 FX2 and the drone drove me nuts on long highway trips.

I like the V8 rumble but I can't seem to get a definitive answer on a good exhaust note with no drone so for now, not in my current plans.
