Default New wheels

I just ordered these wheels with some Nitto Extreme 404 255/55/18 tires. The wheels are 18x8.5 with a +20 offset(5.5" backspacing) If the picture doesnt work, here is a link. Let me know what you think. Not to much "Bling Bling" I hope. Eagle Alloys 175

You have good taste in rims! The truck market is overloaded with "bling bling" crap, and if not that there are a ton of mudder/4x4 looking wheels. Someone needs to produce more performance-oriented wheels for trucks/SUVs

Coming Soon!

Not as realistic as my photo, but close enough to get the point across:

After (with 18" Eagle 175s):

Hey, I like it, thanks Tony. Your pic would look even better with that 2" rear drop. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

True, I definitely want to level this sucker out <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> . I think its low enough for me up front though, I still like tall trucks just as much as lowered ones.

Selling ???? Why, need another challenge ? Let me guess, A Crew Cab 3500 with the 8.1 that will run low 11's <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Seriously why the sell if you don't mind me asking.

I'll bet Brooke has 6.0L 4WD Denali on his mind <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

When I bought my truck, the dealership had just gotten a brand new 4-wheel steering Denali X-cab pickup in. It was black, had the roof lights, damn it looked sweet!! I think it was $45K
