New Wheels/Tires, Happy happy happy(PICS)

I purchased these Harley 22" wheels from Milt IV. Thanks again for a great deal. Decided to wrap em withYokohama Parada Spec X 305/40/22. Also painted my calipers gloss black (formerly gloss red). I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. Selling my Roush wheels and tires 2 hours after mounting these was icing on the cake. I could use some photography lessons but I tried. Let me know what you think.















The mountain of rubber. Gonna be fun to see how they handle the power.

The beauty I've always seen in your truck is how rare that green seems to be. It really lends itself to the mods you've done. So whats the verdict are these heavier then the ol' roush's?

Thanks everybody. The green is different for sure and I don't see many of them. Usually two tone trucks. And yes these are heavier by 6lbs per wheel/tire combo. Roush wheel/tire 80lbs and the Harley's wheel/tire are 86lbs.

Worth the sacrifice for sure.

Best part about being the 3rd owner of those wheels, is that Patman had his hands on the wheels a couple years ago

Looks great dude!!

What tire size btw? I'm gonna get my truck around your height next year when it's no longer a dd. I'm at 2-2 currently. I want enough side wall. I have 285/50/20 on my Roush wheels so I want 285 again

285/50/20 is a 31.2" diameter. I have a 305/40/22 which is a 31.6" diameter.

Plus it's a common size which is cheaper.
