hey, the lisence plate isnt spray painted, i just did that in photoshop so everyone on the internet didnt get the lisence plate number...habit of mine.

the wheels are 18" Helo Rhino's wrapped with 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grappler tires as stated in sig.

the bow tie just has black vinyl on it, although they are real easy to take off and paint also. make sure if you use vinyl its the real flexible stuff some is more like plastic and that wont form to the emblem

thanks for all the compliments

painted them, would be nice if they did come with white letters because the paint keeps rubbing off whenever they touch anything and it takes about an hour to do all 4 tires!!

I like the first truck the best! ):h Really nice looking truck. Have you seen the stainless steel grill inserts that bolt on over the cheap gray plastic ones. It would really separate that truck from the rest for about $180. Congrats! JJ :)

B.A. Duramaxx,
Do you tow anything heavy with those tires/wheels. If so How do they handle?

allison trans
i was thinkin about the grill inserts

tires, well, the heaviest thing is an 18' maclander skidloader trailer usually with a jd 4020 pulling tractor or a case 70XT skidloader w/tracks and heavier bucket, id say about 10000 max with trailer and load. the tires handle just fine, i have never had a problem with them in the 18000 miles or so that are on them

thanks

The big rims seem to give too much of that Pimp Daddy look IMO. I like the Larger tire for the offroad look.

dwrat...truck looks good, i am prone to the 18's because i can get the more off road tire for them otherwise i would have 20's. i heard some company is making a 20 off road tire and will check into that sometime

Toyo makes Open Country M/T's 38/15.50/20 ~ 35/12.50/20 & 37/13.50/20's, they even have 22's! 40/15.50/22 ~ 37/13.50/22 & 37/13.50/24's are scheduled according to their site, there are some pics below of an H2 with some of those on it. Pretty sweet.

I tend to like the look of bigger wheels, but hate the girlie tread patterns, that why I like these Toyo's. You can keep the 22's and 24's (the H2 above excepted, I think it is pretty cool), but I like the 20's w/ some 35's on 'em.
