Thanks man... I agree that they are the biggest 24's I've ever seen...I think it's because they are all flack black and blend with the shade of the tire. That and the fact that the tire is 33.3" tall and fills the well where as most people run smaller tires.

I opted for bigger tires because of my 4.88 gears mostly among other minor reasons.

I'm running the Saleen suspension...struts, coils, shocks and leaf pack

Thanks man.... I ordered a set of Harley knock-offs the other day and they should be here Tuesday of next week. I think I might take my tails and 3rd off today and nightshade them. Thanks for the compliments on the bumper too. I wanted to something simple and unique and I'm very happy with the way it came out.

Thanks.....I think they describe the finish as flat black but it looks more like a satin to me. Could just be what I used to clean them though.

Yeah I'm going to.....I think I wrote in an earlier post in this thread, if not then my other thread about the evolution of my truck, that I am going to be getting 1/2" spacers for the rear. I found a place a while back that custom machines wheel spacers that are hub cenctric and wheel centric. Think they run like $150/pair shipped in any lug pattern and bore size and thicknesses up to 3/4". The guy is an ex-dragracer and is like 70+ years old. I remember talking to him on the phone and he is a cool dude and very knowledgable. People always talk smack about wheel spacers but I think it's because most of the time they are neither hub nor wheel centric. At best, other than this guy, I've seen hub centric spacers that only fit tight to the hub and do nothing for keeping the wheel centered. Here's the link: http://www.wheeladapter.com/wheel_spacers.php

The one's I am going to get are the 2nd down and run $140/pair
