Installed Ballistic Jesters

I finally got these put on. They are 18x9 Ballistic Jesters with +12 offset. They are wrapped in 325x60R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. My truck is 2wd with a 2.5" leveling kit. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I had some minor rubbing issues, but it was an easy fix. Let me know what you think about them.

They look awsome. Good job on not following the well beaten path and making your own

It was only a matter of time before someone got them. And as far as I know, you are the first. They look really good, not too sure I like the looks of the red ring with your truck, but the wheels and tires look very sick. What a difference from stock!!

Great Choice!

Awesome looking rims. Nice looking truck.
Where did you buy the rims? The only place I found was on ebay.

Thanks

Chris

That's what I was going for. You might could pry off the red ring, but I don't know what it would look like underneath. I'm going to add some red accents to blend in with the red ring (stickers or something like that). I'm satisfied with them and they are balanced well and provide me with a comfortable ride. My mpg has dropped considerably, but oh well, I drive a truck.

I got them from rimzoneonline.com

They are very helpful and do their job well.

thanks for the link. I see they make 20's any reason not go with those? I am guessing more tire choice?

Thanks again

Chris

The tires cost more and you may get less mpg's. I didn't have any reason to go with them. I think 18s are big enough for a truck.
