New wheels fer the ol' Dewserb! Pitchers inside!

Howdy thar, fellers!

I posted a thread a while back about being torn about which wheel to go with. After some great advice and suggestions, I finally settled on the Fuel Couplers.

Let me know what y'all think. Thankee!

Thankee, NASSTY! If that was true, methinks I'd have to beat you out somewhere along the line, and that is one tall order, my friend!

Thankee, bud!

Bigger meats may look better, but I like a nice mix of "go" with my "show". Considering the bigger sized tires start to weigh WAY more than the tires I have, that would put a hurtin' on things like performance, fuel economy, power train wear, etc.

Which is also why I wanted a wheel that was as close to the stock weight as possible. The Couplers are 1.2 lbs heavier per wheel than factory.

Thanks again!



PS - 34" tahrs ain't exactly puny.

Looks good! Similar to this fella's from a different forum.. Should PTM (blue) the polished alum accents on the wheels, maybe a PTM (blue) oval grille emblem..

Thankee, tg!

Actually, the accents aren't polished aluminum. They're really dark gray. I think they call it anthracite or some sich.

I saw that truck while researching wheels. IMHO, the blue on the wheels is a little too much. However, badge and emblem work is in the near future.

I don't think it needs bigger tires at all. Looks pretty proportional to me. Well done!! Nice touch with the raptor running boards as well. That blue is really growing on me.

Thankee, JohnBoy! I've been a fan of the blue flame from day one, and I like it more everyday.

Thanks again!

Yep. 275/65/20 = 34 and change.
