I actually really like these rims. I think they would look good on my truck as well.

I love it! I just bought about one month ago. Here is what I traded in.

They are *different*, which is what I like about them. Saw them at a vendor's booth at a car show earlier today. Have the correct offset and everything. They carry a full line of Toyo tires too. Bout 30 min away from me. Just can't decide whether to do a 325/60-18 on a 18x9 with 6.1"bs or a 275/60-20 on a 20x9 with 6.1" bs. Sheesh.

Those rims look great, a nice balance of black and chrome I think

That's the wheel that had me looking at Gear Alloy's full line up for wheels for my truck. It does look balanced in that picture, but in person, it seemed to be a little heavy on the black. I didn't think it would go well on a '05 SCrew in True Blue.

It is a good looking rim... comes in a full chrome model too. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I didn't consider the 713 chrome over the Moto Metal 951. I just kept comparing the Gear 711c and the MM951.

It would probably look right on a gray truck.

I traded this in for my '04 Screw FX4 (that is shadow gray as well).

Well, those only come in a 20" for my truck. They haven't made the 18" to fit it yet. I'm thinking about the 275/60-20 Toyo Open Country (can get a steal on a set m/b for $600 at a local shop...guy ordered them then didn't want them), or I am still thinking of putting a 18x9 wheel with 325/60-18's on (but I have to find a different wheel for that).

Sigh. Decisions decisions.

This would be the option for the 18" wheel:
