it's been awhile since I've posted on here, just been consumed with life. Las time i posted pictures you guys remember that the truck look liked this

i destroyed one wheel back in December and have been on the hunt for a replacement since it happened. No one in the country had just one, not even the manufacturer, they only had sets they weren't willing to break up.

then about 2 months ago i pissed someone off pretty bad, not sure who, how, or when but here was the aftermath, spray paint and keying

and then finally after a partial repaint and having the whole truck wet sanded and buffed i got it back after a month. and just this weekend I picked up a set of new wheels.

while the truck was in the shop they resmoked the taillights, fixed all of the tiny door dents and dings and then removed the molding

Oh man I would have been pissed!!! Can't believe people who do shit like that. Truck looks great now though! I do think I liked your previous wheels better!

thanks guys. the D-pillars will never be painted white, not my style. i do have an idea in my head but not sure if I'm going to to it.

i loved my old wheels, but with them being discontinued and not being able to buy just one the only thing I could do was buy another set of the same wheels or wait to see if one comes available eventually. Im really happy with them, I originally wanted them in 24s but I got a killer deal on these

Brent, I havent driven it enough to form an honest opinion, first opinion, I HATE THE RUBBING on turns, drives me nuts!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I too was pretty happy with it. Unsure how about these wheels, I think they look great but I miss my old wheels and not rubbing at all

I know the pain of haters. A few years back I had a guy key my old truck headlight to taillight on both sides!! The end result of yours looks amazing now!! Best of luck and hope the haters stay away!!

Looks great - I'd be horrified finding my ride looking like that.
