    While dropping my 4 year old off this morning I found a great lighting shot, pretty decent for an iPhone pic

    @bludweiaer looks good, I see you really don’t have any chrome as well. Interested in painting your bead bolts to match wheels?

    I used this paint, I’ll attach another pic of how I painted

    I also clear coated the bolts after paint, simple to remove and throw a little blue lock-tite on

    Holes in a pizza box and paint away

    I drove them on wet roads with standing water a couple of days this week, and they didn't suck.

    Haven't really noticed them slinging any gravel at the truck either.

    Have any other pictures a little further away. Closer to tire, but still showing some of the front body?

    Also, you're saying the Ridge Graps are quieter than Duratracs?

    Zoom in a littl on this pic, that may help with what your looking for. Can you give a better explain of what you mean?

    The new RG is for sure quieter than my worn dura’s no doubt! I would say a little quieter new to new, been so long since my duras were new I really don’t remember.

    I did just sale my dura’s today for $300! So I am in the RG’s for a steal!

    It got cold here today finally. The ridge graps seem slightly louder today. I assume it's from the colder temps. I still consider them very quiet.

    Ah yeah.. that's a good picture. I like em, but they're pretty boxy too. Really can't decide. And great idea. My tires might be something I can sell

    What’s your other choices? I kinda understand your boxy mention, and like you said that’s relative to the tire. RG is a hybrid, they are supposed to be boxy.

    Boxy is good. Contact patch is wider. Tread pattern is more uniform. Might be one of the reasons why they are so quiet.
