Yea, didn't even check to see if they had them in 5 on 135. Keep forgetting that we have a rare pattern.

I would but you'd have to match the deal on the classic II's and I'd have to take care of that machined lip on them.

And jnc995. It just shows how they would look black really but makes me want to look into powdercoating.

What do yall think about it. Powdercoat or paint and what's a decent price on powdercoat

If I had the chance, I would powder coat. I think it is going to be more expensive though.

How about brads option C

You buy my wheels and tires=$850ish+600(regear)=1450ish. Then you have almost 500 to spend on making those lips gold plated if you so desire. AND you still wouldnt have reached your cheapest option yet.

I am just throwing it out there. I am in the process of saving up for the monsters and will be there REALLY soon sooo on that note. I think I could find a used set of tires for 18s for $800ish right?

Powdercoating will probably cost you 75-100 a wheel. Thats what I was told when i ask about getting my stock wheels done.

I agree with this option C. Jake, Your truck would look sick on Brad's rims/tires and Brad's Truck would look sick with monsters. So it's a win/win for everybody except me. (nowhere near to the amount of money I need for lift, wheels, tires and gears). :sad:

I think the artillery's would look sick, but so would the ones you photoshopped...but in the ps pic they look more like 18" rims than 16s. sometimes 16s just look too tiny with big tires...makes the tires look like they're balloons
