I like the new wheels, my only thing is I think a tire that wide with that offset should be under a taller truck, but if your happy thats all that matters.

Ditto that, my Trail Grapplers stick out so far in the front that my white truck is rarely white anymore.

So, does the super finish have a clear on the machined areas? Back before I bought wheels, nobody really seemed to know and I never did hear back from EA.

i ordered the rims from the same place i order the tires, and since the place deals with eagle alloy and can order them i asked if they had a clear coat and he said yes, he said when cleaning them not to use any special cleaners, just soap and water cause some cleaners have chemicals in them that will eat away the clear coat then u will start having issues with the polish, i always just use soap and water anyways so it works out for me, but yes they do have a clear coat
