Question Pics of 16" Rims ??

I have the 17" ORP wheels and may go to 16" to get a larger BFG A/T tire. Any pics of american racing or eagle wheels...like maybe the baja, python, atlas...etc. I love pics, they seem to help out a lot when I need to make a decision.

Thanks guys...any one else??

Rtroha...

Nice looking truck...the lift and wheels/tires look tuff!! I really like the rims and am considering that model with the BFG 265/75/16 AT for my truck.

One question (if you don't mind) how much were the rims??
I believe I saw the same rims on a website that were polished (or maybe chrome??...can't remember) for around $200. Does that seem right??

How do you like your procomps?? I like the 4wheelparts 3 for 4 deal and thought about the ProComp MT but don't want a loud quick wearing tire that is not good in snow/ice (we get lot's of it here in Maine...actually it is snowing right now! )

Later, Matt

Thumbs up Matt, thanks for the compliment!

I got the tires and wheels from 4 wheel parts here in Cleveland. The store just opened a few months ago and I was like a kid in a candy store in there!! If I'm remembering correctly, the wheels were $184.95 each and they are polished and the tires were about $200 each.

As far as them being loud, it doesn't seem like it to me but I guess that's a judgement call. The guy at 4 wheel did say they were quieter than BFG's but I don't know.

Now about that ice and snow. I actually couldn't tell you. We also get lots of that stuff but so far this year only rain. Once the snow flies, I'm putting my stock tires and wheels back on until the spring. It's not so much that I'm worried about the traction but we use LOTS of salt here and I don't want it to eat my new rims.

Hope this helps
Bob

mhussey,
What size tire's are you planning on going with ? I might go with a set of eagle 589's or 143's in a 16 x 8, But can't decide on 265's or 285's for the tire's. I like my rim's simple & easy to clean as you can see. It sounded like you want to stick to 265's.

Here are my 16x8 American Eagle Series 121's. These are with 315/75/16 Geolander M/T's. I've since put on 37" Swampers, but no pics.
