Looks awesome. It seems like every truck has Centerline Stingray III's and every muscle car has American Racing Torq Thrust II's. Why???...because they are fine looking wheels! Good choice. Tint your side windows and your truck will be perfect. How is the ride and performance? Did they affect your truck's acceleration alot?

I had the side windows at 30% i think(same as the back window) and the cops would constantly bust my *****. This summer I'll try and get a eye doctors permission to get them tinted, the state will allow my a permit for it with an approved doctors note.

They are the 275/45/20's

The Stingrays are clear coated, looks sweet!! Waxed them after I mounted them and that's all I have to do for the rest of the summer! HAHA! No polishing, but well see how they last and I'll keep you up to date.

The ride is ten times better than the 169" with snow tires on, and it hugs the road something crazy now. They are hard to spin from a stop with no brakes, but a burnout is still very possible(did a 80' lay down).

I want to tiny the tails a little and tine the 3rd brake light too. Hopefully roll pan this summer, and might do a few small things..... We'll see.

i love hot the tires are almost flush with the fender, although a good bottoming out and they may rub. If it does it a few times then I'll roll the fender lip.

Thanks a lot guys, I love them, and it totally changed the truck. I also love the fact that I have never seen the stingrays around here(haven't seen any lowered trucks for that matter).

I hear you about the window tint. I have 5% all around(actually a little darker) with a 12 inch eyebrow on the windshield. I have a state permit from the dermotologist. I got stopped twice by state police, but they had to let me go. My lilttle bro got stopped in his truck this morning and was let go.

You gotta' admire a guy that gets a brand new set of tires and proceeds to do a 80' burnout

How did you clearcoat them? Anything I can do to reduce the amount of polishing that is required to keep them looking their best sounds like money well spent to me. I was going to put mine back on this weekend, but I don't feel like sitting out in the cold for 2 hours polishing them.

LOL, The tires are pretty cheap, and I'll do worse at the track

I sent them to a place that does powder coating near me and they coated them inside and out for $65 per wheel. I don't know how long the coating will last on the polished finish, but we'll see.
Find a powder coater near you through yellowbook.com, Click HERE for the easy link I set up for you.
