I think they have 1 mile on them at this point. They are solid rims, but I will use these for shows only. I have a set of rallys that I will run when I plan on driving very far, just gotta put some shoes on em.

you should have got some of those 17 or 18 inch rallies they look just like those but bigger there awsome!

22s in the front n back, especially on a short bed, would look odd.......or like I say, a ghetto hovercraft. If you are going to leave out the innerfenders and try to lay frame then 22s are fine, but I think you are going for a more tasteful, well thought-out look. I prefer the hot rod look with the slightly smaller rim on the front, but you can always compensate with a larger 50 series tire and it will still look correct. JMHO!

Baby's first bath. :lol: Had to wash all of the sandblasting dust off her today, thanks Ronnie for not covering it. It took four washings to get it clean and still need to do the interior and under the hood. Happy to be doing something with the truck! Got a little something exciting in the works, we'll see what happens. Can't let the cat outta the bag yet.
