Well I don't really care about the price, because they are buying them. LOL

How do you guys think they would look on the truck?

 

[WhiteExpress]

I like them a lot. I was pondering a set m'self.

Each of the wheels I have now, have like two to three scratches right below the mounting point of the alignment device. I knew they were fresh, because I just polished them and waxed them on Sunday and there was no damage to them. What they are gonna do with them, I have no idea? I could ask. They are just little tiny scratches that got into the clear coat. With you living in Iowa, where I am from by the way, and that brine **** they put on the road, it will get behind that clear coat and trash them quickly.

I do have these currently for sale:





The dealer told me I can't come in and buy one of these for under $225.00 each. He also said the factory lug nuts that are included are $3.68 a piece..

I have these listed on Craigslist right now for $600 including center caps and lug nuts.

These have less than 500 miles on them.

I would just re clear or black them out and use for the nice months. Let me know if they are going to throw them out. I am in Des Moines, so its straight interstate there.

Yeah, my old stomping grounds is Ankeny. I lived there since 1976 and been here about three years. In fact I will be coming up around Thanksgiving. All my family is still there.

If you're getting rims, I would wait to get the tires to want to run on your truck with the lifted height you are going. I'd hate to see you get small tires and regret later (like me! lol). You really don't wanna know how many sets of tires I've run in the last 2+ years hahaha

 

[bigbadram1500]

Those AR rims are pretty cool. I think they would work on your truck.

 

[quietpeen]

if you like them go for it, you could also get luke to chop them on your truck for you.

Yeah I am trying to figure out this wheel ****. Kind of confusing. The wheels I like are available in a 4.5 Backspace with a -12 offset.

I think this will allow me to run the 315//70/17 or at least the 305/65/17 .

At least that is what these "wheel experts" have told me over the phone.

But I don't know if that will make the tire stick out from the fender and if in fact it does how far.

I know that 12 mm is .5 inches. So does this mean that the wheel will only stick out a 1/2 further. Because that is all I would have needed to clear the 315 tire. Turning wise, it did not come close to the bumper, fender or inner wheel well plastic. Just that Upper control arm.

I have seen them on the Wheel Visualizer and they look nice. The problem is they don't show the actual backspace and offset of them.
