Yup! I love those wheels. I want a set of the gray ones, but won't buy them because of that.

I think I would rather polish a billet wheel (and I hate that) than try to clean around those rivits. They are a nightmare to keep clean

I like how they fill up the wheel wells. NICE

Sweet wheels! I bought a set of 20's about a month ago. I love them. I am in the process of having them powdercoated. I went with that charcole gray but i had the rivets powdercoated also because i didn't want to clean them. What size wheels are they? Keep up posted on your truck!!!!

shifty · 11-05-2006, 01:47 AM

you wanna talk about harsh cleaning - you got it easy. these need to be cleaned twice a month or they're literally black in color...and it is no fun doing each individual fan, lemme tell you! (wish there was an easier way! i've tried EVERYTHING!)

**Canadian694x4** · 11-05-2006, 02:19 AM

Nice Wheels!!

abadsvt · 11-05-2006, 02:24 AM

I just noticed your rear disc brakes. They look sweet! Where did you get them? How much did they cost? Thanks Josh

WTB3 · 11-05-2006, 10:05 AM

Shifty have you tried the Mothers powerball?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-05-2006, 10:16 AM

Foose wheels are nice, but are they worth it?

Are they worth it? Of course not, but then again what part of the things we do to these truck are actually worth the money we spend.

They are good quality wheels if that's what your asking....
