Thanks guys....
68cajun, I'll have to check what brand these are. I received these as an x-mas
gift from a friend, and was to anxious to
put them on, that I haven't even looked at the brand/model...

I couldn't believe what a difference a set of wheels could do to my truck....

I think it brought your truck to life. No disrespect to you ralley wheel die hards, but they aren't very exciting on certain color trucks. The chrome wheels "make" your truck.

Can you take some better pics without so much clutter. I want to save one, but those aren't doing you any justice...

Very nice. I always like yours as it was, but those definitely set it off now.

Is the grass ever green in Texas outside of a football field????

Looks great. I take it that they are a six lug wheel because from the photos on your web page shows six lug rallys. Please tell us more about the wheels. Who makes them.
Thanks Bowtiefreak

Bermuda Grass + Close to freezing temps = Brown/Dry grass...

Yards are very green here if we have a good rainy season, which occurs once or twice every three years or so. Fescue grass' are very green around this time....


I'll get back to you'll with the wheel brand...
Thx,
