Picked these up off craigslist for $150, wheels and tires. The rims aren't in great condition, the chrome is peeling, but they look great from 10'. They really give the truck a new look. Figures that the old wheels were 16's and I had just put new tires on... these are 17's. The tread is pretty good considering the price... about 7/32nd. The tires are also bigger. Originals were 245/75R16... new ones are 265/70R17, more than 2" taller. I'll sell the original wheels and end up making money.

Looks good from 500+ miles away too :poke:

They fill the wheel well openings nicely.

Those look really good Andrew! Reminds me a lot of the rims I had on my Tahoe, except chrome.

Looks good! I have been looking around for a good deal as well for something other then the stock wheels. I do really like the look of the new style stock wheels on these trucks though.

Those totally change the look of the truck, looks really nice. Sweet deal on flipping the old ones, too!
