I would go with chrome wheels on a white or black truck. I would go with black wheels on a truck that is a color other than white or back.

With the back spacing on these wheels (5.39)I think the tires should clear the fenders (barely) with a 2" level, but they might rub the 4 link at full lock.

I also think you should be able to get alittle more for your wheels/tires then what has previously been stated here. I just watched 5 sets go on ebay for:

- 932.22 + 99.00 shipping for polished aluminum - 35 bids
- 1026.00 + 99.00 shipping for polished aluminum - 30 bids
- 760.00 + 199.00 shipping for polished aluminum - 7 bids
- 749.95 + 195.00 shipping for polished aluminum - 1 bid
- 699.00 + 175.00 shipping for chrome clad - 1 bid

I want to start by saying thanks to everyone for the comments and the info. I was thinking 1,000 for wheels and tires.The tires new are 167.00 ea on tire rack and wheels new are over 400.00 ea granted from the dealer soI was thinking 1,000 is a far price

hmmm. I am looking at it more and I think I might change my mind. In most cases I like all chrome on white trucks, but in your case the black and chrome wheels might look pretty good. The black in the wheels may not show up too much, and it will match your black door moulding/mirrors/door handles, and you should tint the front windows if they are not allready tinted (I think they are rolled down in the pic?) so they will match too!! Then your truck will be atrue pimp ride[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]
Windows are not tinted yet but they will soon. I am also thinking about taking the door molding off. This really is a hard choice to make I guess I will have to wait tell they come in to see them next to the truck to get the true feeling.

yeah! then if you stripped the door moulding you would still have a little black up top with the windows to match the black in the wheels.

Best bet is to probably wait till they come in and see what looks better though.

P.S. - If you ask a thousand for the wheels/tires I can tell ya right now mayfair ain't gonna buy them, [8D], hahaha. If your readin this mayfair... I think you almost got me sweated out now, I might come down to the $600 mark in the next couple days if nothing else happens with them.
