I can get them powder coated for $175 but then another $50 to mount them again.

Its the extra work of lifting truck, taking wheels off, putting blocks up, taking rims to tire place unmount them...take rims to powder coat place, get it done, take rims and tires back to tire place and then finally putting them back on lol

Have somebody photoshop them on your truck before you buy them. That way you will get an idea if you'll like them.

$58 discount tires...I know I could go in there (in stock) and say ok I bought my tires from you...put these new rims on for $250 total and they probably do it and I could get my tires siped.

Question is...16x7 OR 16x8...16x7 have a 4" backspacing and 16x8 are at 5"

http://www.uniquewheel.com/scripts/s...ies=Series_297

I think our stock is 5.5" backspacing...so stick out 1/2" or go for the extreme at 1.5" makes me nervous people on this thread warning me of that much difference on the wear and tear on the truck.

How much you want for your stock rims?! Looking to pick up a set for my summer tires (highway driving sucks)

I posted this image already on another thread but this one is talking about it. Below is a mock I made of them on my truck. I am rusty on the whole photoshop/fireworks thing but this will just give you an idea.

Not bad for $60 rims if you ask me.
