Got my bling blings
Well not super bling bling but looks tons better then it did. The steel wheels were all warped from brake heat. The PO pulld a large trave trailer that was behind it for most of the 72k it had on it when I bought it.
Rides so much better. Need to let some air out of the tires. Guy that mounted the rim ran them up to max of 80PSI but unloaded I usualy run them at 65psi. Even with that high of pressure it rides much better. THat's even the same tires that were on the warped rim. Before After. Needs a bath and morning dew was on it. (taken this morning). Thanks to cochino12 for posting a link to www.rim-zone.com I managed to get these rims out the door with lugs and centers for $375 NEW and not blems. I printed out their sale add and got 4wheel parts to match price so I could have my instand gratification.

Don't you worry about knocking those lights off that are on the bottom of your bumper? My lights are always protected (if I had them, ha!) but just seems like they would get knocked off and/or broken there.
Anyway, those wheels look nice, I though the first pic you posted was of the new wheels when I first looked, hahaha.

I have some 16.5x6.5 and its been a royal pain trying to find a decent size in a 16.5 rim size. Guess they don't really use them anymore. Thought those might have been.
Your new rims look pretty good though.

warped from brake heat! yikes.
anyways it looks really good now. much tougher, a little less "grandma" to it.. as for 16.5" in wheels, i love em mike ohh and that seems like a REALLY good deal for those wheels (especially since it includes lugs). How much was 4WP going to charge if it wasnt for the price match? I love screwing over big companies with price matches and/or lenient return policies.

They want $120 each PLUS $1.75 a lug PLUS $10 a cap. So around $550 is the price they will quote you. I had them don'w too $440 just alking to them 2 days before.
