FINALLY!! New Black Steelies/Caps/Tires Installed!!!!
I finally got the new tires, steelies, and caps put on today!!! It looks amazingly better then the late model wheels. I went with the Michelin LTX M/S 2's- LT265/75/16. I'm glad I went with the black powder coat for sure. I put the chrome sleeve and caps on the valve stems although you can't really see them in the pictures.... And you guys weren't kidding. These tires ride awesome! Thanks to Sicklajoie for letting me bother him with a few questions!!!

Thanks everyone! Jojaboy, no the old wheels and tires are in the back and my driveway has an angle so the rear looks dropped. I was to excited to wait for pics and take the old stuff out haha...

The black rims and your blue/black paint combo makes the truck look like it should.
