I hate the freakin color, not chrome or black, just fugly. Look at grizzstangs wheels, same thing just black. Makes me want to powder coat mine.

I do like chrome and of course white needs chrome to keep it from looking like my company vehicle.

chrome or black, but I don't prefer chrome on trucks, it does work on white. I like the look, and I love white trucks. Only reason I bought blue it was an ad truck.

Black oem, versus chrome oem, versus whatever that is. Common now, these rims are flat wrong in every way.

Mike I bet you have the highest pay load out of any half ton ram in your year. You know what it is?

2,000 pounds goes in the back, I wouldn't want anymore without a back shock upgrade. For towing I'm sure the weight upfront helps. As for OEM rims plus big tires, I like the big tires part, but imo it will look nicer with an oem wheel that is maybe chrome or black, because I don't even know what to call those rims, I don't even know how to define it. As for those trucks posted, imo the ones with the same rims as mine would look better changed out, but the chrome ones are nice! Just my own baggage, never mind me.

im contemplating plasti dipping them black. unfortunately new wheels ate not in the cards right now. i am also removing all badges besides front and rear ram heads (plasti dipping them black too). i like the blacked out look. not exactly sure about the front grille. i like it as is but have to go all blacked out if u do it. ive seen someone do the chrome grille pieces. not sure of my skill set though.

Can i do a brief 2 stroke oil topic. Without long explanations i have been researching the SH!? out of it lately. 2 stroke oil is WAY different in things to look for and what the proper choice is for your intended purpose. If you want to get super technical with it like we do it is much more involved.

So let me keep this simple.

What 2 stroke oil do you use?
Why do you use it?

Do you have good knowledge from experience of its piston, exhaust port and muffler carbon buildup characteristics?



Keep it simple.

You know what I'm about, but just fyi in small engines redline can be hard to burn, thus if you put in recomended dosage it will stall/bog. Anyhow, I got my mix to see a little bit of smoke at startup, but not smoke when operating. This is what you want imo. Redline is about 1/2 dose to achieve this. Usung something like pennzoil would be much easier, brainless just mix the mix done. I think that da engine video convinced me to run redline, not that I needed much of a push after al that has happened here.

We've just been using trufuel. Never torn one down, but it doesn't seem to gum up the works after a while like modern pump gas + 2stroke oil does even with a stabilizer added.

I use true fuel as well, but it is a fortune, so I just buy them for the conatiner to mix it in. Even now gas is 4 bucks a gallon, compared to 6 bucks for 32 ounce trufuel. It is good though, no ethonal, but man it gets costly.

Im a looser and pour my oil into a small oil bottle on a digital scale for the PERFECT mix ratio[emoji23][emoji23]. Then rinse it out with a bit of gas.

Waste of time.... i know.
