Default Had my new rims put on

Nothing special. The truck is dirty so it's not super shiny. I had my rims put on. I don't think it looks too horrible considering I paid $300 plus shipping for the rims and the tires were $140 for the set. They're forged rims and they weigh 27 pounds each. With tires they weigh 61 pounds which is pretty good if you ask me.

Looks good! For some reason, I always thought your truck looked like "SimpleManLance" truck.

Why did you decide to sell the turbo set up?

Thanks

As far as the turbo, I'm too afraid to put it on my only form of transportation. My transmission is far beyond stock, but I don't trust 500rwhp in front of any 4l65e. If I find a 4l80e for cheap around here I'll keep it and install it, but I just don't trust 4l60e's

Not a bad idea. I need to find one for a fair price around here which seems to be tough. I want to find a lq4/4l80e pull out and then just go nuts with it, but we'll see.
