fast71 · 10-18-2003, 10:36 PM

Well a while back I was thinking about changing wheels and alot of you said dont and some gave some good suggestions . I ran across a deal I couldnt pass up , I was needing tires and was getting ready to go and price some when a friend of mine came in where I work to tell me how good my truck looks since I put chrome bumpers on . Well to make a long story longer he asked where I was going and I told him to shop for some tires . He said look no futher than in the back of his truck . I went out and there sat these wheel with almost a brand new set of tires . I asked how much and he said I will swap you even. I couldnt beleive it.
What do you guys think?

**BOSS** · 10-18-2003, 10:41 PM

I think you done Great!!!!!!!

lukecp · 10-18-2003, 10:51 PM

Sweet deal!!

You will like those Michelins....i had a set of LTX's on my old S10, and they were excellent tires. Pricey but worth evey penny IMO.

fast71 · 10-18-2003, 10:54 PM

I know Yellow 72 ,I have them on the s10 and love them. I havent really got to drive my truck since I'm still screwing around with the rear end.

**BIG ORANGE** · 10-18-2003, 10:55 PM

I think they both looked good but i really like ralleys on our trucks!

dinnut · 10-18-2003, 10:57 PM

they look nice on there

*dtlilly* · 10-18-2003, 11:00 PM

I like them too. Rotate your tires every oil change and you'll get 70,000 miles on them.

**Stocker** · 10-18-2003, 11:04 PM

I like the ralleys, but the alloys add a nice custom touch. I have LTXs on my wife's Grand Cherokee, and they're a great tire. Good trade!

A.P. · 10-18-2003, 11:05 PM

good deal.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 10-18-2003, 11:40 PM

Sweet deal!! Everybody needs friends like that!

*Phillip Johnson* · 10-18-2003, 11:42 PM

They look great

krue · 10-19-2003, 03:43 AM

I like them but I sure wish I had them ralley's!:p

67cst · 10-19-2003, 04:51 AM

yeah i like those ralleys too, but youre happy so thats cool

Blue Beard · 10-19-2003, 09:03 AM

I like the before.............

But I like ralleys, spinners, and BFGoodrich.........

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-19-2003, 11:18 AM

Deal's like that are killer and it make's the truck look graet..

70c10 · 10-19-2003, 11:33 AM

Looks awesome either way!

10-19-2003, 03:32 PM

I just put on ralleys(free from my bro), rings, and waiting for new GMC caps instead of the chevy's, and brand new Goodyear conquests 265/75/15, and they look alot different then the old rusty things. So your truck looks good, plus a good deal makes it even better.

72shadetree · 10-19-2003, 04:59 PM

great score i really dont care for ralleys because theyre everywhere

project1971 · 10-21-2003, 08:44 PM

those look sweet, like both but really like the after

fast71 · 10-21-2003, 09:09 PM

Thanks , I'm liking the wheel alot better also . Now the ? white letters in or out . I cant make up my mind.

jhwkns · 10-21-2003, 10:51 PM
