I had some work done at the same time and I paid around $2,200 for everything. I think I had the brakes done at the same time. Not too sure though. Too many beers and crown royal apple ago.

Gotcha, I'll have to swing on over there when I get my rims and see what they can do for me.

I thought about checking with the firestone place on post, but I wasn't sure if they sold tires

Nah I'm not a fan of rockstars.. They look to bulky. I'm liking this one set of Helo rims, but this seller only has two.. Gotta look around and see if I can find someone else selling them.

Thank you - I remember when they first came out (about a decade ago now) EVERYBODY HAD THEM. I try to my best to not be like everyone else and keep it original. Those wheels will look badass on your truck and I can say that I've never seen them on any vehicle around here. I thought I was doing good when I got mine, there wqasn't another Ram anywhere near with my ATX's; only saw them on some Jeep's. It wasn't a month later that I went down to the Catfish house and there was a 3rd gen 2500 with them :flipthebird: I said well, I guess I got gotta get a different set now, but never saw the truck again and the idea faded away.

They're nice they are a Teflon coated gray color. They hide the brake dust really well if you don't wash your truck very often (I'm guilty of this). They clean really easy with a good wheel cleaner, quality wise they are excellent. Mine are 0, I kinda wish I had gotten a -12, I won't go over that though cause you put top much stress on the hubs and they wear out quicker.

Can't believe I looked over your thread all this time and and didn't even know it was yours. I fixed that and subbed so I can stay in the loop and feel cool, 3rd gen owners are the best anyway, I'm happy to not have all the "nanny" features of the 4th gens.

To each their own, the trucks look sweet and the cooled seats would be nice, but I just can't bring myself to spend what these things are going for now. The biggest issue I have with them is TPMS, 1 PSI and you got a light in your face.

I need a 2500 so I can pull my travel trailer and auto transport trailer. Plus get it before I retire in 5 years from the army so most of not all of it is paid off before I get out.

If I could afford it I would keep the 1500.

Here's the Fuel Formula rim I'm really digging on. It's sporting a 37/12.50r17 grabber, on a long travel ram from SEMA 2015.

That looks good, ask Derek how his Grabbers are doing. I've mixed reviews on them about chunking out on the edges and uneven wear.

Last time I asked him he was enjoying them and said they were wearing good.

Haven't decided what tire I want to run yet. But I want 35s for sure.

I like them, but a lot of people around me have that style. So I was going a different route.
