    those are the 10" wide version of the wheels I have. Mine are 15x8. Ultra Motorsport En4cer Type 181.

    I like mine and they look much better in black IMO.

    well I'll be damned! Thanks a ton Adam! It's good to know what wheels I have lol!

    I'll see what they look like when they get bolted up. Something about the aluminum look really vibed with me.

    Haha I'll keep that in mind, however the chance of me getting rid f them is next to zero :D

    That's a good find! Plan on shining them up or painting them? Either way, you can't beat an aluminum rim

    I'll probably just polish them up if I get bored, but they will stay like that for now.

    They're WIDE. You'll definitely be needing to tub a bunch and trim fenders with those and 35's.

    I didn't like them as much with the aluminum finish. Also, the surface was corroding and it would have been difficult to get them to look shiny again, which is why I painted mine.

    back when my truck was just a little guy like yours. ;)

    duly noted :D I am prepared to tub a lot and cut a lot. The tub job is going to be done the 8th and 9th.
    you are a broken record lol. I know that. Im just going to go jon on the truck and build a new fire wall :rolleyes:

    Im gonna get the tires mounted tomorrow and see just how tight it is with zero hammering or cutting up front for all the curious minds haha (like me)


    also, thanks again for the pics adam! Great comparison of the wheels painted vs not! If/when they get bad i bet i take the same route I did before and just derp em.







    Also today, I spent more money, I ordered some LED lights, doing some cosmetic touches in my free time

    Im doing raptor lights lol
    raptor_zpsaf89e360_c14a5d7edf5d70f8903128345712ad454567b941.jpg


    I finally ordered my own air compressor, after 3 years of mooching :rolleyes:
    [​IMG]


    I really dread dealing with this, but in the next day or so im going to order a bearing kit for the read so i can swap out the bearings at konstas. If I do that, i might put brady in charge of the tub while konsta and I take on the gears...brady will brobably burn my truck to the ground :cool:

    I was kidding haha. I could pull a joe, sombody works on my truck then burns it to the ground. TADAAA! I dont know if konsta would go to the shop or just do the third at his shop. I dont even know if its the bearings. but at this point there isnt much I can think of that would make all this noise and vibes and what not. just replace the bearings and reset the pre load and backlash and tighten everything again.

    Just ordered my led rock lights. So those need to get wired up as well:D
