SO I had an incident last week. Was driving down the road going about 70, and something felt off. So I slowed down and started pulling over. Then it felt like I blew a tire. I get off the road onto the grass, and the rear driver side drops. Apparently, when I got my tires rotated and balanced a the weekend prior, they did not torque down one of my rims. They had worked there way off, and 2 of my wheel studs snapped off. Left me stranded 68 miles from home. Was able to get the wheel back on good enough to get her on a tow truck.
The tire shop paid to have a mechanic fix everything. Only things damaged were the rim and the wheel studs. He replaced all of my rear studs. And the tire place paid for a whole new set of rims. They could not find a replacement for the one damaged rim, because my old ones are discontinued. They still make them, but not on the same offset. Ended up picking Fuel Rebel 6's. They cost more than what my other rims did, but they got them under my road hazard warranty. Got them installed today.
I really like the look of the bronze rims on my red truck. Now I think I need to get rid of the chrome though. That's be my next project.
Looks amazing! All those chrome parts need to be black or color matched!
That's exactly what I am debating now. I know I want to do the rear bumper black to match the front. Just deciding if I want the rest black or wrapped to match. My wrap guy says he can match it.
Nice truck... I’m a chrome guy but agree it needs to go. I think it’d look great with front/rear bumpers color matched, and get rid of the tacky chrome on the door pillars (I’m a chrome guy but not THAT kind of chrome haha)
