Thumbs up Finally, new wheels for the KR...

OK, so you can't come down on me too hard because the truck is so dirty. I had the wheels put on last night, and it snowed thru the night and this morning, so yes, the truck is filthy. But I wanted to post pics of my new wheels and I didn't get the pics until tonight after work. I will try and post them in the thread, but if it doesn't work, I'll post a link to the gallery. Tell me what yall think.





And yes the truck and wheels will be cleaned up Saturday.

Thanks Rusty. I like the looks with the larger BFG's too. I bought those last year actually. I hated the stock Goodyears. As for the dirt, I drive my KR every day and love it. But I use it as a truck too. I tow my travel trailer, haul firewood, furniture, you name it. I usually keep it pretty clean but having to drive in the snow this morning took a toll on the cleanliness.

On another note, I wish I could figure out how to post the darn pics directly into the thread. I still haven't figured that out.

when you post, there's a little icon that looks like a postcard with a mountain and a stamp on it...it's 3 icons from the "B" ... if you hold your cursor over it, it says "INSERT IMAGE" ... just click it, and it asks for the image's path...just paste it in there...

ok, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was using the the insert image icon, but not the right path. Got it now. So here are a couple more pics.

I'm typically not a big fan of wheels that loose the KR look but, I must say, those are VERY good looking!

Nice choice.

Thumbs up

The new shoes look nice. I would love to add some beef to mine, but I am still too attached to the stock rims. I supposed those were too large for for the running W rims?

Keeping them. If or when I sell the truck I'll put them back on. Sorry.

Thanks. Actually I had the tires on for about 10 months before I bought the rims. They were on the stock KR wheels. Honestly, ever since I bought my truck new I have never been that fond of the KR wheels. Just finally talked the wife into letting me get some new ones.

RP - thanks for compliment as well.
