I like the look of black wheels! The new combination looks good. I would have kept the 10.5 tires and purchased new black wheels with less backspacing. Looks good none the less.

no center caps... looks alot better with out them

reason for switching was the BFG's suck ass in the snow and i wanted a wider tire... the MTZ's are awesome in the snow and ice... we have freezing rain right now and my driveway goes up at a pretty steap angle and in 2wd im barley spinning the tires... im soooo happy with the tires and would recomend to anyone who is looking to get them... i have goodyear mtr's on my other truck and those things are worth the money to!!.. plus i think the BFG MT's are around the same price as MTZ's and MTR's..

Looks good Dexter! Did you just end up buying new? and where?

Ydopen, just take your rears off and pull those caps off! My wheels are aluminum, and what I did instead was spray paint my rear hubs aluminum color.

Looks good!

Now get yourself a marlin rear bumper or something so you don't mess up that clean sheet metal back there (and sliders too!)
