Default Anyone cruising on the factory 16x7 steel wheels?

I am going to sell my 20" wheels & tires, they are just too heavy. I've always liked the "Rally" steel style wheels with trim rings & caps on 2nd gen pickups. Mine is a 01 1500 2wd V6 auto, lowered 2/4. I'd like to see ya'll set up and what size tires. Not really interested in 4x4.

Every spare on every second gen is a rally. should be pretty easy to get a hold of. For a long time I had a complete extra set. I like the trim ring look myself. nice and old school.

I painted my steel rims with single stage catalyzed black. I found some trim rings at a salvage which looked like they belonged in the trash, and after I polished them I could not believe how good they look. I also polished the center caps. I like the results and only spent $40 for the four rings.

Yeah I agree. Those do look pretty good. Is that a silver Ram? I kinda want to see a wider pic of the truck with the painted wheels.

This is the only pic I have of the truck since I painted the wheels.
