Default Got my Bravado's installed!!!

I took off early and got them installed lol. They are 22x9.5 +35 offset Axe wheels on 305/40r22 Nitto 420S's. Wheels are one-piece cast, machined face and lip with graphite inner spokes.

I'll take some nice pics once I clay and detail the truck this weekend. Until then these iPhone pics will have to do which unfortunately doesn't do these wheels any justice. These things are beautiful in person. Looks almost like the truck came with these from the factory or it was an option which is the look I wanted. What you guys think?

Thanks. Yea I don't like wheels that everyone and their momma has. I love 'em and the Nittos ride better than my stock 18" Michelin's did.

Here's some better pics after giving the truck a much needed bath...

Thanks fellas!

I wanted something that was sort of OEM looking or look like a factory option but also different than what everyone has. Not too flashy and the graphite details of the wheels tie in the FX trim. I went with black splined lugs to bring a little of the truck paint onto the wheels. Gives a subtle nice detail IMO. I have to say the machining of these things are amazing and seeing them in person i was kind of blown away lol. The paint and overall quality of the wheel is top notch and i couldnt be happier with how they turned out.

I'm going to lower the rear to close in the gap and level out the truck.

BTW I went with the DE8T-1A180-AA TPMS sensors and did NOT have to do the re-learn thing with my truck nor had to buy the little learning remote. I had seen a post on some raptor-related forum of a member using the same sensors I did from the same ebay seller and he also didn't have to do any of the re-learn stuff. I've driven several hundred miles and a tank of fuel so I would of imagined it would of thrown the (!) light and TPS error on display by now. Maybe these are auto-learning or something. Don't care what they are as long as I don't have to deal with the warning lights lol.
