Thanks for the feedback. Do you by chance have a link to a suggested kit?

I saw those online too. They look good but I think I like the XD Spy wheels more.

The kits are ridiculously expensive. It's better to make your own kit. I have a how to thread on here

These xd spy wheels? I liked the look of them too but after I bought them I found the finish on the center caps and around the bead of the rim went to ****. Just a heads up

Through the winter and our winters are harsh with salt and whatnot so that didn't help but I still would have thought they would of held up better then one winter

Yeah here in VA our weathers aren't that bad but like you said the finish should still hold up.

Been looking at nerf boards and about to start looking at grille guards that accept a winch. I saw a member on here that has it and I like the way it looked. Plus pretty functional.

Yeah I haven't done much to this and have other toys like right now it's my '95 Cobra. If I got a brand new truck I wouldn't want to mod it because so many of the things I want are factory options now.
