Hey HD, Would you mind putting your 18's next to the 20's and post another pic so that we can see the difference.

Hey HD, I just called up a few places to find out some prices and they told me $150 bucks to mount a balance the damn rims and tire on the truck. thats absolutley crazy! I can't believe it, but its the only place that can do them for me. nobody else has a machine that can do them. how much does it usally cost to do them, did terry charge you guys at all.

I think he did the same size tires as me but he went with the goodyears. I think they where 209 each or something like that. thats what 95 cobra did.

I went with the 295/40/20 dunolp Sp 9000's. there the same size but the dunlop's are supposed to be some awesome tires. I just like they way they look. 300 bucks a piece though. oh well it's going to look awesome as hell.

I'll have my pics on monday morning mounted on the truck for you guys, K.

Hey HDLINIUM,
I just unpacked mine!!! They are incredible aren't they. look totally awesome on your truck. I did have a problem with shipping though they damaged one of my wheels. oh well ups does that to me all the time. the wheels are even better than I expected and those goodyears for $209 were a steal. I bet you can't wait to polish them up. happy happy. later 95rcobra.

HEY DL, I could'nt have said it better myself. yea I hope they are all kicking themselves because these wheels are beautiful. all of mine were perfect except for the one that ups damaged. got to call terry now to get it replaced. You will be happy come monday because it was worth the wait. hey I really like the 3 bolt center caps I do not see any need to put the SVT ones on. wait until you see them. later 95rcobra.

Here I go to answer some of the questions so far. the wheels come from CLASSIC MOTORSPORTS in cali. 626-914-7725. ask for Terry. they will fit many applications including 2000 navigators. the tires that HD,DL and myself got are goodyear eagle ultra pluses in size 295-40-20. they were only $209 each. I hope they perform as good as they look. some of us sent the tires out to Classic and had them mounted out there at great savings. if anyone still wants to get these rims they are in stock and available from Classic. thanks 95rcobra

Hey 95rcobra,

Sorry to hear about your one rim being damaged.. Buy hey, we finally have them.. Terry will get one right to you...

I hope mine are OK monday...I'll see if I can get a picture and post..I'll have to figure out how to post, haven't tried to post anything yet.

They look awesome on HDLINIUM's truck.. I'm anxious to try out the Goodyear tire's also...

Thanks again,
DL

Well guys, It's late and I just got home so I will try to answer some of the questions.
First off, thank you for all the positive feedback, second I really like these rims, I had quite a few thumbs up down at the beach tonight. 95rcobra answered some of your questions so thank you to him. The tires seem to hook up better than the F1's, and the shift points didn't seem to change any it still shifts at about 5600. My lowering kit is the BellTech 3/4 kit with the BellTech nitro-active shocks. I will get a picture of the 18 vrs. the 20 and I will post it. I know there were more questions but that is all the ones that I could remember right now. So thanks again everyone for the nice things that you have said. I will get more pics tomorrow and post them.

Rt Killer- I just got my 20's on last night and I am also running the Dul=nlop SP 9000's. The tires look good as hell, but they do not hook up what so ever!! I am hoping that they will get better with time.. I got my tires mounted and balanced at a local Goodyear store and tax included it costed 57.80 . I must of called 10 places and every shop wanted at least 90 bucks. Later-Neil Minor
