I dont believe that. If they are popular in Shreveport, they are popular in Houston. Ill look on craigslist...but I think the general grabber tires look good have you looked at them?

And you can see from my pics, the stock tires are 33s and they dont fit in my opinion.

$800?? Damn that's cheap! ~$1400 is the cheapest I've found so far with tires, but wrong bolt pattern. I wish those $300 tires were the right size. If they really had 60% tread and weren't an inch smaller than stock, I'd go pick 'em up today.

What'd you do with your fender flares?

the one without the flares and small tires was first, and the second pic with 35s and flares is newer.

And I wasnt actually telling you to buy those, I was showing you that the tires are on craigslist used (which means HUGE discount) all the time. I think 35s on 18s is a good look. The cooper Zeon was one of my picks but as you said, they dont come in a 35

*I should internet less when I drink LoL*

I don't hate the tread pattern on those, but I do hate the weight per wheel. Considerably heavier than the Coopers. At this point, I'm almost completely set on the Cooper Zeon LTZ, unless someone can come up with a very convincing argument for something better.

So in the last week I've driven over 500 miles in Houston and the "Houston area", and I have yet to see a single vehicle with the Rockstar rims. LOTS of big trucks, but not a damn one with those wheels. Which honestly is upsetting, because I would really like to see them in person before I make a final decision. At any rate, if any of you see a set of matte black 20x8.5, 5on5.5" with a 10mm offset for a good price, drop me a line. I've been searching locally to no avail, and ebay is mostly just new setups not in the proper specs.

Sh*t, I wish you'd have posted that last weekend. I played golf sunday and there were probably a dozen trucks in the parking lot. They guy who was with me commented "look at all the Rockstars". Four of them had Rockstars, TWO that were parked next to each other. I could have easily snapped a couple of phone pix...

I'm running the LTZs and am very pleased. Just stock size.

So I saw my first pair of Rockstars on Friday while I was having my exhaust installed. Unfortunately they were chrome and 22" on a tall F250... but even so, I can imagine the black 20's would have looked awesome even on his application.
