Remember how I made the deal on the black 22's last week? (They're on)

Nice job on your rims/tires!! I've been in the market since I bought my truck (almost a year now) and can't decide what look I'm after.....still thinking of the leveling kit and a bit wider tires - but not too crazy about tires so wide the stick out......I'll know 'em when I see them!

I do think your wheels would look better without the AZ beige trim....JMO - I'm glad you like them

Awesome job!

I'm leaning towards going with the black wheels too. With all the chrome I see around these parts, black wheels might be just enough to set my truck apart from the rest...

What did those bad boys set you back?

HEY GUYS!

I'll do my best to answer all the questions everyone brought up.

Tires are Hankook Ventus ST RH06 and their size is 305/45

I didn't do anything to my suspension to make the fit like that. I was thinking I was going to have to lower it if anything, but now that I look at it I think that leaving it at the stock fit will look cleaner than lowering it because I want to keep the tall, mean look on it.

And last but not least, they set me back just a little under two grand... I always look at the bright side though which is the fact that I got a nice deal on the tires... I can explain later.

Thanks a lot for all the compliments!

I love the things so much. To be honest, I think the ride now is more comfortable than it was before. Handling seems to be much better than the stock... (the wider tire does make a difference)

thanks yellow,

haha. by the way, I know for a fact that speedometer and odometer will be off. What can I do to change that/fix that? I am not too aware and I spoke to a gentleman at the tire shop but in the hype of getting everything installed he never got back to me as to what I should do... what have you done... if anything to get that fixed?

ive been wondering what the difference is too. I guess ill have to try and find a mobile radar detector thing. I know some programers can change tire size.

Have you noticed power loss? i havent really, it feels just as fast as it always has.

what size tires do u have, i have 305/45r22 nittos

Hey Spiros, I was talking to my buddy down at Barbecues Galore tonight and he told me a friend had just got some black rims on his 150...I was like, funny man, I saw a maroon truck with black 22s on it on the forums. He was like, that's him man! And judging from your location it is you. Small world. What other mods do you got? Up for a race?
