Yay, new wheels!

new to me anyway...

ProComp Xtreme Alloys 15s wrapped in 31x10.50 ProComp All Terrains

found em on craigeslist for $400; really just wanted the rims, and I would have paid the $400 for the condition their in, but the tires were mounted, and he said I could have them. There's not a whole lot of tread left, but their about equal in tread dept to my old tires, and their balanced good unlike my old wheels and tires, so the truck rides like a Cadillac! aside from the exhaust leak I still haven't fixed...










I'm thinking that when I get some new 33's for em after the BJ spacers and new rear leafs, I'll paint em black!

nice! good deal too. congrats.
don't know about the black though.
maybe powder coat black and leave the inside radii of the holes polished bare metal... just a thought.

Oh, good idea bout the powder coat; I know a guy through my past job who can do it at his shop! The only thing he'd charge me is for the supplies!

Thanx btw, I though it was a decent deal too!

they look nice. i would normally say go for the black but imo those would look better the way they are cause you got all that chrome on there

well, in the end, black may not be the way to go...

doesn't look as good as I thought it might after a little photo editing...
