Talking Todays the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Today is the day!!!!!! My New rims and tires are already on the UPS mans truck and out for delivery.... I wish he would just come here first! I already called and made the appointment at the shop to get them put on along with my oil change.... I am going nuts waiting, I am worse then my kid on Christmas......

I will have before and after pics as soon as I leave the car wash, after the shop....

Not sure about everyone else... but I LOVE THEM. They ride awesome with NO noise and look amazing. They are exactly the look I was going for.

A HUGE thank you to DirtyDog for helping through all the numbers and research to make sure I got ones that fit perfectly. All the guys at the shop said it was the first time in a while that somebody brought in aftermarkets that acctually fit they way they should.

And for all those wondering... they are Dick Cepek Torque Rims-17" with 285-70-17 Firestone Destinations for a total size of 33". Everything else in the suspension is stock.

Looks good buddy.....i might have gone with a 295 instead but i like it ......maybe paint your badges, that might look good with the wheels.

it looks alot better. I agree with painting badges and stuff. You pretty much went a total different direction by changing rims. I love black/red trucks

Thats my end goal is the red/black combo... I am keeping my eyes open for a black grille, as well as front and rear bumper.... I would also be open to going red for those with something like the sport bumpers that are paint matched....
