    After weeks (probably more like months) of indecisiveness, I finally pulled the trigger on a set of Moto Metal 951s in black to go on my Silver '09 DC TRD Sport. I'm definitely looking forward to getting them mounted!

    Unfortunately I'll have to live with the stock Dueler H/T 684s for a while. I can't justify getting rid of new tires, regardless of how crappy they are.

    I went with 17x9, 4.5" BS. I didn't want to deal with fitment issues on the 16" rim, and this way I could continue to use the tires I have now with the new wheel.

    Wheels and tires mounted. I've got to say I'm even more pleased than I thought I would be after seeing them on the truck. They completely change the entire image.

    I 've thought about it. But I probably wouldn't recoup enough to make it worth while. They really aren't bad tires for all of the road driving I do.
