Tires are on the way!

I just bought my BFG TA/KO 285/70/17's. $820 delivered for the set.
Now, if I can just find that set of black wheels I'm looking for. I can't quite decide if I want to go with the MotoMetal 957's or not. I can get them delivered for $534. May stick out to far though.
17x9, -12mm offset, 4.53 bs.
What do you think.
Truck is Silver.

Damn, $534, and i thought i got a good deal at 604. I guess i should have shopped a little more. Unfortunately, i'm a little impatient.

good prices I have been having the same problems. although I have desided to get 18"s. I have been looking at those 957's as well as KMC monsters. the monsters don't stick out so far so that is the way I am leaning but I sure do like those 957's. if they made them with the 5.5 - 6 inch backspacing I think I might just get the 957's. good luck deciding.

Those will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your OEM wheels.

Price would have been $780 delivered, but they had to add $10 per tire as a heavy item surcharge.
I ordered through JC Whitney for the tires. I did some searching online for discount codes and found one for 20% off at JC Whitney. So I checked and their prices were a bit higher, but with the discount it made it $205 per tire delivered.
I couldn't go wrong.
As for the wheels, I looked up Tomzwheels.com and found them for $469 + shipping. They don't list a phone# on the website, but in the background of a picture on the website was a toll free #. so I called. Shipping was $65.
I haven't made that purchase yet. Still trying to find something with more backspacing.

Got a call from JC Whitney about the 20% discount. They said it was from 2007 and was no longer valid. They needed my permission to charge my card the additional money. Total went from $820 to $956. I told them NO.

I went to my local tire shop and he has a set in stock and he can do the deal for $852. Including Road Hazard with lifetime rotate and balance.

They are going on my stock wheels tomorrow. Trying to get the leveling kit on tonight.
