New rims and tires!!

Amazing how much difference some rims and tires make! The rims are 15X8.5 I got off Craigslist for 100 bucks and sprayed with some duplicolor rim paint. The tires are 275/60/15 all around. Changes the whole look!!

Wow what kind of wheels were on it before they look like some old timey wood wheels almost. Those wheels look great on your truck and you can't beat that price.
