    Looks more like a practical work truck now:). In my bias opinion, rugged tires would look better on those wheels but then they would be impractical as a DD. Nice truck!

    I like them. If they were mine I would paint the outer rim "bolts" but that's just me. They still look good:thumbsup:

    Thanks, I'm leaning to a larger size a/t after these are toast but for now they will do.

    thanks, I only spent several months on this forum trying to decide which I wanted. :D

    What color? I had wondered whether or not they were removable, they are cuz 2 of them had almost feel out. I've always been a fan of the SWB and thought about a blue like that for the bolts and the front emblem.

    Stock duelers on method standard 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 bs, sorry crappy cell phone pics, I plan to take some better ones in a day or so. Guy at the shop I had them put on said that it was the perfect offset, loved that the tread was lined up exactly with flares.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    That's better, much better.

    For me I think I would just paint them black but I'm kind of a fan of the "clean" look and not too showy.

    Was on my phone earlier, I can see them better now. The methods are super-sweet. The stockers not so much:D

    I came close to pulling the trigger on a set of Methods before I jumped on the Stealth 6 group buy. Nice choice.

    Nice, they were on my list along with monsters, I kind of wish now that I had went ahead and got tires but o well, maybe I'll have a lift before, who knows what my TW addiction will lead to.

    Yeap, when cleaning them after I got home, noticed two barely hanging on on the front drivers side wheel, I went ahead and checked all to make sure tight.

    btw, I really liked your old truck and when I saw you got a new one, I said to myself why would you do that, then I figured out you traded up to 4x4, congrats

    My truck was stock for years until I realized how the help of this site opened up oh so many possibilities. It has been fun and well worth the dough.
    Anodizing the bolts is a cool idea if you decide you want them color matched.
