Denali on some new shoes

[Knobz]

Hey guys, I just got some new rims today and wanted to start a build log for my truck. But for now here's a few pictures of the new rims. Lots more to come soon.
It's sitting on 26" 2Crave wheels with 255/30/26 tires.

Yukons are the only vehicle i feel can pull off big wheels cleanly.
You need to get those vent caps painted asap. Or just ship em to me!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I can't be happier with the way the wheels turned out.

Yea, I need to get those vent caps repainted asap. I'm thinking about plastic-dipping them.

Oh I know the fealing of waiting for the new wheels. I had to wait a week after I ordered mine.

Nice choice-they look good-a little too big for my tastes though

Clean looking ride too!

Looks good especially with your drop! Instead of plasti-dip on your vent caps I'd encourage you to pay for them to be color matched.

Thanks dude. I haven't decided on what to paint the vent caps with but I like the flat black vent caps.

Looks real good with them wheels. Too BIG personally, but looks sick as F@ck

100% agree with 07burb, ride looks to clean to plasti-dip those vents. Pay to play and get them painted right.

 

[Knobz]

Thanks for all the positive feedback and suggestions. Helps me decide what to do next.
Question though, what's a good air pressure to run in the tires? The shop had them @50psi (49psi is max on the tires) so I lowered the psi to about 44psi right now.
Reason asking, they shake/vibrate like crazy at 65+ mph so I think the shop didn't balance them very well also and I'm going back in tomorrow to have the shop re-balance them cuz they shouldn't shake at all, would you guys agree?

 

[WHITEOUT]

Ask them to Road Force Balance them. I just put new tires on my 22s, I had to take back to tire shop 2 separate times cause of shakes over 65mph. Finally made them road-force balance all of them. Good to go now.

 

[TRUCKSTUFF]

The rims look great. They definitely need to so the road balancing. I had to get that done for one of my other cars because it would shake over 65 mph. I think the right PSI for the tires is about 44-46. They should definitely not be at 50psi.

Alright. Good to know. Thanks dude. Should most shops with high-end tire machines be capable of Road Force Balancing? Just wanna know in case they say they can't or if its they don't wanna cuz they're being lazy...

Also I've been researching about the color dots on the tires for maximum imbalance/heaviest point of the tire which is the red dot which I've read is supposed to be mounted 180* opposite of the valve stem on the rim to help offset the two heaviest points. And I asked the shop about that and they were clueless about the color dots on the tires haha so I'm gonna have the properly position the tires on the rims and then have the shop do the Road Force Balance.

Ideas/opinions?

Yea I haven't decided if I wanna have a chrome tip welded on or just cut it off after the muffler. If I cut it off after the muffler should I weld piece back on to make it turn down or can I just cut it off and call it good?
