Da new wheels :-)

So I was lucky enough to be able to get this deal off of craigslist, guy had bought these Ultra Peacemaker 17in wheels, and only wanted the tires off of them, since he couldnt fit ford lugs on his dodge, he sold them. I picked these up for $250 for all 4 and couldnt pass up the deal!




Only question I have is, the guy didnt have the lugs for the wheels and obviously the stock lugs will not fit......sooo does anybody know what size lug nuts I need? I cant wait to get these on Been thinking about getting em powdercoated black :-)

And what do yall think?

i cant recall the lug size, but those wheels may have some potential. what are you putting on them for tires? if there not oversize and somewhat aggressive the wheels may look out of place. black may look good as well. post up some pictures of your truck and tell us what tires you want and im sure you well get plenty of opinions.

alright, now i can picture it. they may not be my first choice, but with 33in claws they should look darn good and way worth the price. if you do anything other than chrome, i would paint/powder coat them the same color as your bumpers. unless that is, you plan to change the bumpers.

Careful on powder coating. If they are already forged aluminum wheels the oven could actually weaken the wheel. I talked to BBS about this and when I "blacked out" a set of wheels. I ended up having them electro static painted with an epoxy based paint. As good and as strong as powder coating with out the oven.

Check locally for the painters that specialize in "on site" metal hand rail painting, window frames etc....
