Do you know what tire will be going on those?

I believe 35" RT's. Galpin Auto Sports is doing the "build" (bumpers, brakes perch mod etc)

Local customer just had some Rotiform SIX OR's installed in bronze. He also doesn't want his OE beadlocks so they are for sale if anyone is interested. Shoot me a PM.

Just installed these Racelines today. I went for the low weight of 26lbs a piece a black wheel to match the color of the truck vs factory alloys... I like the look much better but the HRE wheels are pretty sweet!

Offset of these is +18.

I like the way these look. Even though the 18s drop my average mpg by about 1 mpg, I have my individual look.

Looks good. I'm curious though - how is a switch to 18s responsible for a drop in MPGs?

The wheels are about 6 lbs heavier than stock. The tire is about 15 lbs heavier.
The rotational mass increase plays a significant role on how much power it takes to get the wheels moving. Was getting 17.7 combined (CAI and free flowing muffler helped), now closer to 17.1. However, I am already thinking of another mod to kick it back up. Muhahaha!

VRock VR-10 recoil 18x9.5, 6x135, 89.1, +15;
BTW 17s don't fit over brake caliper. (ask me how I know)

20x9 Rotiform SIX w/ 35x12.5x20 Toyo MT

I am thinking about these. A bit of old school with the machined face and simulated bead lock. Get to keep the factory tires and it only places the tire out 9mm (.354") so I'm not throwing crap all down the side of the truck.

I sure wish they made these without the fake beadlock. I dig the old school look.
