02Cummins. Nice wheel choice! Before you plunk down the dollars do some surfin on the net to see if you can score a better deal, and possibly get the local guys to match or beat the price. I ended up buying my wheels online at: www.wheelsforless.com
I am not endorsing them, nor do I get some silly kickback. I got a good deal on a sweet set of Ultra wheels for my 06 Mega and then had the guys at the tireshop mount them onto my new BFG's. I have ran BFG's on 3 of my last trucks and have been very satisfied. Again, just me, I know everyone has some horror stories about this brand or that brand. Just my $.02.

I would for sure look around your local dealer for the same wheels at a lower price. The e-net tends to jack up there price when you pay for shipping and everything. As far as tires, if i had my choice, I would go with a toyo 37 with a 5 or 6 inch lift. But the Cooper STT and Nitto Mud Grapplers look good too, but you also get a lot of noice with them.Those wheels are bad *** though and will look good on our model truck.

I've been checking around and the wheelsforless.com seems like the best bet. Their prices include centercaps, lugs and free shipping. Cheapest I've found by far also.

this is killin me i want em and have alot of money to blow away haha cuz i sold my quad. but i also want to be kinda easy with my money so i dont know if i want to spend 1600 on wheels and tires, ya know ? its gonna be a hard decision, i love these wheels they are my fav but im also thinkin i like the mickey thompson classic II wheels and i wish the bogger tires were way cheaper and lasted longer but no they arent, i like a meaty aggressive tire that lasts long i wish i could afford the toyo open country but i cant let myself spend 300+ on a tire let alone 4 of them. this sucks man!

i will tell you that my buddy runs a 40 inch toyo open country on a 2 inch wheel with an 8 inch lift and the tire IS NOT BALANCED what so ever. They are made to perfection, and they last just as long as any Cooper or Nitto.....but then again they are alot! I have arond $2000 sitting in just my Coopers and Wheels and leveling kit..

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...oTreadwear.jsp
gives some info on tire rating. you could kinda see which ones would last longer and have better grip depending on temp or weather. hope this helps.



i have the truxs sts radial on my tacoma. 38/15.2/12 is the size. they have lasted me along...long time. had them for about 1yr and a half and still good for about 1yr more. quite and smooooooth as hell for a big tire.
