We had a great time at Chuck/thelonerife's yesterday. We tackled a few of Chuck's projects, and the guys helped me string align my truck, and I put the correct steering wheel adapter on, and we fixed some wiring that the front tire had rubbed on. It was really a great time, and a good warmup for the 16th! Being able to drive my truck over the weekend has been amazing, and has reminded me what a great resource this board is, not only for info, but to meet cool people to hang out with, and of course, work on trucks!!

I took this pic of Matts truck yesterday with the Nashville skyline. Because we were both moving on the interstate the skyline blurred a little. Still a cool pic though!

I have decided to get some different wheels, lol. I need some advice on what to get. The 15's just aren't cooperating with the drop spindles and other components, and I don't want to cut everything up just to fit a set of wheels i was gonna change soon anyway. I think I like 18" as a size, but they need to tuck, and I would like to not break the bank.

Dang. If i had a rewind, I would go back and buy Rus' old 20's, and then i could have cut Jeff a good deal on those tires! hindsight....

Technicaly all you need is a 16" rim to make everything work as it should.
The bigger you go the more expensive it gets, 18" rims will run you over $200 apiece and nearly the same amount for tires, so take a hard look before you leap.

Maple Motors up here in Hendersonville can get you a nice set of Boss 338's 18/20's for around $600.

I have seen a cl add from them, and I wondered if anyone had done business with them. I like the 338s with gray centers, or the MB Old School wheels that Summit sells. They are close to the same price.

I like those, but they don't come in 5x5 lug pattern. Plus, they're 300 bucks a piece! I don't know what to do. I like my wheels I have, too.

So, I've been thinking about wheels A LOT. I really like my 15's. They are on the truck, they have brand new tires on them, and it would be counterproductive (imo) to put a big HEAVY wheel on my truck. My medicine in my shot I take keeps me up sometimes. I had a brain storm (or fart). I got on ebay, spent a little time and a little money, an I tink I can make those wheels be just what I want them o be. I realized what I didn't like was the center cap. Here's some hints, but I'm not sure what is going to happen, but It will be more than just a cap change.
