Default I got my new wheels!!!!!

pwn3d n00bz!!11!1

Anyways. I absolutely love them. Have gotten tons of compliments on em already! I think they look BADASS on my truck.

Opinions? Compliments? Hate?

I like the wheels. Personaly I think a nice chrome would have been the choice. But, it is your truck and your monies. So if you're happy then thats all that matters. But, I would like to know the make and model of those rims. That style, black w/chrome lip is what I'm planning to do down the road. Those would look good on my black dak. How much did that set you back for? I see those are 20's but would like to find out if they are offered in an 18".

Thanks,


TASTE THE HEAT AND ENJOY THE PAIN

Yes, they are offered in a 18. I was actually going to go with the 18s until I was quoted only 30 dollars more to go with 20s. The wheels cost me 163 each from Pomps Tire, and the tires 105 each from TireRack.com. After everything I was set back about 1000 - 1100 dollars.

The wheels are American Racing Cartel Blacks.

I went with the black with the machined lip because if you look at my truck. Do you see any chrome? No. Chrome pisses me off. I hate cleaning it. I have a red and black theme, with minimal aluminum look on it. I want the "sport" look for my truck. And chrome just makes it NOT sporty.

Thanks guys!

And I was wrong, I got the wheels for 156 each. I mean I can't complain. That's like almost 70 dollars per wheel cheaper than they retail for.

Cool. Since you laid it out it makes sense. I figured they retail around $220 ea. About the only wheels I like are AR's. Don't remember seeing those though. Will check their site again.

American Racing Cartel Blacks. 5x5.5 lug pattern, in 20 x 8.5 tire size.

I painted the calipers and drums tonight and the differential cover. So it looks great!

Will update later!!
