New rims = Wife may hurt me!




I recently got a 4" rancho kit and have been looking for rims. Well, I called a guy I know and he turned me on to these bad boys. The are American Racing Legend, forged (which is what I was really looking for, nickel chrome plated. Usually are around 600 a piece but he just placed a LARGE order from AR and I got them for half. Not seconds or factory blems just a great deal. They will be 20 x 10. Now I have to decide on tires. So many threads, so little time. All of you nice guys that have 20 x 10's any pictures popsted would be great. I may not even be able to afford tires this year but I do have an income tax check coming, yeah.

Put the tires on a credit card then tell the wife so you cut the fighting down to one fight.

Now that is a good way to lose an eye You can do like I do and have a hidden CC used for my truck to buy goodies. Wife does not know how much I spend since it comes out of my play money

BTW, I really like the choice of wheels. I will upgrade mine to 20's when I run the BFG's down some more.

Lol I have a hidden stash of cash but it goes quick. I like the cc idea but I would need the billing address to go some where else.

Ahh bold words from the youngster! I just got married back in August (I'm 23) and I'm already learning. Although I must say my wife lets me do a lot of stuff I like to do just not spend money. He'll learn! Post again in about 10 years!

By the way, nice wheels! Good luck with the wife!

I don't think you will be married long then haha or at all. J/K man. As far as tires I'd vote for 325/60/20 Nitto TGs. BFG might actually make a 35/12.5/20 AT too, not sure. It is def. gonna look awesome!

I think that's what John Wayne Bobbit said to Lorena...we all know what happened next. When he woke up, he was checking for something else!
