    and for the record, when i rotate my tires, i flip flop sides on my summer set. winter's are directional so they don't get to flip.

    Not gonna happen unless I get a flat and then it will come back off ASAP . Can't see why they couldn't have matched the rims on spare with rest of truck .

    Yes. Just rotated them last weekend (every 3k miles). Its a good idea to keep the spare in the rotation when you're running 315 MTs.

    Turn the wheel over and reinstall to access the air valve.

    I like the looks of the black rims. My wifes truck has the silver steel rimes and I thought about trading them with people that had the same, Trade the silver for the black spare rim and have a set that match, then the others would have 4 sliver steels matching.

    I for the life of me do not know why when they give you painted rims what difference does it make if silver or black, just give you a steel rim like the other 4.

    When you get an Alloy I can see the added cost but they could also add in a few $$ then it would save you some money if a tire monkey screws up one or you damage one but it can still be used, plus you could rotate them.
