Cant Decide!! ahhh

Search my threads/posts and my gallery to find pics of artillery's on my truck. Or just search Ishock.

I love mine, just keep in mind they're not really black, they're more of a really dark dark gray. But I like the fact that they're not gloss black which I hate, nor are they flat black. They're really a great color. I don't see too many artillery's on here, in fact, I've only seen pics of them on 1 or 2 other trucks. But that's just what I've come across.

I'm rolling on 17x9's -12mm offset. You won't go wrong with that stance. I believe I found mine with a hub size that was like 1mm off hubcentric, I can't remember exactly. They might have been spot on. I was considering the thugs, but the artillery's didn't seem to be on as many trucks, making them a little more original.

I love mine and plan on keeping them. The only other wheel I'd consider right now would be a countersteer powdercoated something custom. But I'm not touching mine for a while.

 

No I used stock studs and got extended thread lug nuts. The ET lugs work with the 7089's because they are lug centric I believe. The lugs I used are the Black Chrome Spline Drive E/T 12mmx1.5. $2 a piece but well worth it. Need the spline driver adapter too. They work great and look great too

 

Where did you get your artillerys from and how much? did you need new lug nuts or longer studs?

 

Brand and model? They look like volks Te37

 

I got mine from that shady looking elites wholesale website. I found them for around $600 shipped for all 4. Yeah, I got a super deal. This has been a while back though. I bought the acorn lugs.

You can pretty well forget about using your stock lug nuts with aftermarket wheels. Just get the acorn style so you're sure the rims seat well to your hub. This is a must for non-hubcentric wheels, but most aftermarket wheels require them anyhow.

I got black ones off ebay for less than $30.

 

I got ATX Artillery 17x9 -13 from Discount Tire. Cost $170 each and I had to wait for a batch to hit US shores. SO GLAD I waited and paid the extra for them. They are as close a match to MGM as you can get without color match paint, they do not hold any road grime or brake dust, and EVERYONE that has seen them has liked them. I used spline drive acorn nuts from discount tire and they look great, matching the chrome accent on the wheels. I also advise painting all hubs with Rustoleum flat black and NOT running the hub covers as they do not hold up like the rest of the wheel. Looks better with no centercaps IMO as well.

 

Method Race Wheels Split Six!!!!! Similar to the ATXs but when these are wrapped in BFGs tires they look bad ass!!

They also do a gun metal color that looks sweet but it just depends on what you're looking for

 

Of the wheels listed I like the Artillery the best!

 

Level 8 Guardian's
17x9 4.5 BS with 265/70/R17 Duratracs with 2" Coilover lift front, TSB back.

Off topic for a second... are those the weather tech wind visors? If not which brand? Do you like them and do they work? Been wanting to get a pair.

 

I voted the ATX's but the Procomps are sick too. The other ones look to bling blingy for my taste.

 

the atx artillary has plastic screws on them. not sure about the others but, just fyi i was looking at atx ledges last year and they had the same thing going on with the plastic screws/bolts.

 

if it where mine to do over again i would have waited for the konig counter steer off roads in black

 

Thissssss!!!! at method we only use stainless steel

 

Wow. I was pretty set on these too.. good info thanks

 

They are just decorative screws and have no impact on performance. No issues with mine and the finish on the "plastic" screws has held up great.

Do not let that impact your decision. If you just don't like the look of the screws, that's one thing, but don't let the fact that they're "plastic" deter you.

 

I say Method Split Six w/4.75 BS for lift spindles later on.

Yes, they are the weathertech visors. They are the in channel type and I love them. I've had them over 2 years now and they have never came loose and are not brittle like a set I had on my previous truck. These are low profile and I like that much better than how far they stick out from the stick on kind.

These were one of the first addons for my truck. You can see more pictures of them in my photo gallery. Look toward the end.

 

I said tuff 03 until i scrolled down....yea those dont look good in 17s

I still love my cranks!

 

I voted that you keep your wheels. I just painted mine with bed liner which turned out great. They look pretty sick with the texture and flat black. It was ridiculously easy, cheap and the paint is stout.



I also found this in my apartment complex the other day. I figured it would help you see what your truck would look like on these...
