Default Ordered some 18's from Todd at Discount Tire!!!!

Thanks Todd!!!!

I ordered some 18" Enkei RT6's from Discount Tire Direct... They will be shipped MOUNTED, balanced and with lugs... I think that's an awesome feature since I was wondering when I would have the time to get them mounted...

I'll put up pics once they are on.

I changed the truck grill so it looks quite different.

Allen is supposed to charge my card and send me the gears, no I need them very bad my rear end sounds like an air raid siren. So yes I am still buying them Jeremy.

Just email Tod for prices he has a special going right now and he's cutting some very nice deals.

Hey pro stock john do you know how much those Enkei's weigh?

Im looking for a nice lightweight 17 or 18 inch wheel for my 03 and I REALLY like the look of those wheels you are getting!

congrats on the new wheels!

They look great, brushed aluminum and then clearcoated. Got a lot of looks on the highway today, I will host a pic tomorrow.

Not sure what they weigh I can ask Tod for the shipping weights, how much do stockers weigh?

I know a stock escalade 17 WITH tire weighs a bit less than 61 pounds (according to the latest sport truck magazine)

I would be very curious to the weight. For me weight is my primary concern when choosing wheels. As I have said before wheel weight really can slow a car/truck down. 1 pound on a wheel is equal to 5 pounds ON the car's chassis!
