17's are sold. lots of tire to try and get a little traction. it worked i ripped into it last night and it felt awesome. i didnt hook like that on the dragstrip much less the street! i dont feel like i lost much, if any performance going with the 18's and wider tires. maybe going a little shorter made up for it. the guy installing the tires on my truck even commented on how light they are.

nitto 404 so far. i think their made from the same rubber as the toyos but the tread is deeper...toyo owns nitto. did anyone know that?

wish i felt the same. im kinda in the middle about how it looks. i actually think it looked better with the factory 17's but i couldnt fit the tire i needed on there. i guess im just not used to seeing this much bling on my truck. ive never been a bling bling guy. maybe ill paint these wheels some kind of metalic silver to cut down on the shinyness. in the sun these wheels are 5X brighter than my chrome front bumper. its blinding in direct sunlight.

anyone think the escelade handles would look good now? i was totally against it before the wheels, but now it seems like it would flow pretty good. i already have the handles in my garage to stick into the bucket.

I like that,big difference! I say do the escalade handles, they'll set the truck off! All the trucks I've seen with'em look real good with the eskys.

I say stick with the handles you got. Those wheels do look nice, the pictures don't quite do it justice.

I have Stewart's old 17's in my garage. I need to do some more burnouts to finish off my old tires before I slap the those on. I forgot to give you the feeder for the cleaner. Let me know if you still want to borrow it.

Looking good Tx. I say go with the esky handles, that's if you are not painting those wheels.

Sounds good. TX, where is this car show? I'm less than 3 minutes away from I-45 and 1960. There used to be a huge meet @ the Sonic on 1960 and Aldine Westfield but it broken up after some ricers decided to try drifting around the parking lot.

Let me know if you guys head to this new meet. I'd like to hit it up too!
