    As some of you know i was hit a couple months ago. Most of this time was wasted going back and forward with insurances.Needless to say happy to have her back. One of the wheeels broke and we couldn't find a replacement since they were discontinued... So i had to pick out new wheels.


    Here she is before

    The new wheels look nice. I'll bet you're glad to be back in your truck.

    Awesome man! I know the feeling.with only about 150 miles on my truck, someone decided to run a red light and this happened.....

    And then 3 agonizing months later. (And 12k in damages I didn't have to pay of course)

    I'm in the minority, really liked the look of his truck with old wheels. Liked the aggressive offset and the machined look. But then I'm in the camp of people that are sick in tired of the overly played out (Black out everything) look.

    Truck still looks good, but I would have tried to find the old wheels again, or something close to that look.

    I agree with Pool Runner, really like the looks of those wheels on a black truck.

    But I might be biased as I have those same wheels on my white truck

    Yeah 2 weeks were pretty much wasted going back and forth with the insurance companies. And we had to wait for the police report as well. Trying to find the old wheels also held us up quite a bit, and we never did find them.


    Most importantly everyone was okay, and a change in wheels never hurts.
