Default WHEELS I JUST ORDERED......

I just ordered 20" MKW wheels in chrome, but there also some black ones coming in because I am still a little undecided. Open to opnions on which one you think might look better on a white QC CTD 3/4ton with a leveling kit and 35x12.50 Toyo M/T's. Also I wont to sell the stock wheels and tires that are 17" polished aluminum with stock off road tires. They have 500 miles on them ( I just bought it 3 weeks ago ). I was wondering what a good price would be?

I sold my stockers with the Michelin's for $500. I had around 500 miles on mine too. After I sold them, I looked on eBay, and guys were bidding $600 plus bucks + a c-note for shipping, but then you have to deal with shipping them. Id put em up on Craigslist, you should sell them quick.

Be careful w/ the backspacing. I had a set of MKW wheels w/ 4.75" backspacing and rubbed both sides of the back fender pretty good when turning. I did not do my homework w/ backspacing. I had to do some modifications and trim the plastic and alittle of the metal in the inside wheel well. I also had level kit and were on 17" MKW Wheel/Toyo 35" ToyoTires.

Your stock wheels/tires are on craigslist in here in Portland all the time. Asking prices are usually between $450.00-$550.00.

I prefer the chrome. With the 35's the 20" wheels will probably look good, I think 18" looks better though not to mention you will save a good bit on the wheels and tires.

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 like the black on chrome. I think it would look better on white than an all chrome wheel.

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]
