I got them from trucktoys4less.com and they cost around $90. They are Putco brand and are stainless steel. However, I do like the way they look even though they don't have a chrome finish on them. They do scratch pretty easily though so not sure what they'll look like in a year.

I got the tires and wheels as a package for $2200 from Perforamance Team Tires & Wheels on Rosecrans in Point Loma. The guy I dealt with seemed pretty knowledgeable on tires and wheels and came really close to matching what I was looking for. When he first showed me the tires, I didn't think they would fit. They looked too wide but he guaranteed they would look good on my truck and they wouldn't stick out like a rollerskate. No rubbing at all even in the front (which is what I was worried about).

The ride feels a little stiffer than the stock General's I had on before but seem to grip the road very good.

They installed them within 45 minutes and I was out of there in notime. He also said the purchase included free rotations every 4000 miles for as long as I own the package. He asked me to bring it in early this week for re-torquing.

I was very pleased with their service and the bennies that came with this package.

Baja...good lookin' rig. I like your choice of Shadow. The flares look great...been thinking of adding them to my Shadow over Silver XLT to complement the chrome bumpers. Don't worry about scratching the stainless...just think of it as 'brushed stainless steel'. And re: tires...anything is better than General...I swapped mine out before 5000 miles.

I guess it's true...everyone has different taste.
