Same here. I like those diamos in black, I just wish I could find them to see in person before I buy anything. I wanna know if that is like a shiny chrome, or a sort of polished like the oem fx4 wheels?

What do yall think of these KMC XD series hoss 795's. I like them, saw them on a dodge around town today and they looked great! I love the 10 spoke look of them too. They are quite pricey too @ 325 dollars a peice, and they only come in a 20x9 VS. the 20x10 of the diamos? will that make a huge difference in looks?

I think you should go with the Diamos 20x10, they would look sick on your truck.

Those wheels look bad a--. Both will look good. The Diama's will stick out a little further and look more aggressive and meaner. I'll let you know how they look when i get mine in on Wed.

Which Toyos? Toyo Open Country M/Ts last a long time on the road compared to other mud terrains. I'd go with a set of Nitto Mud Grapplers or Toyo Open Country M/Ts, personally.

I second that. You will get alot of wear on the Toyo's. I know the Toyo A/t are a 50,000 mile tire.

I personally like the look and sound (none) of the Terra Grapplers over the Mud Grapplers and they will last you around 50k. Between the Toyo's and Mud Grapplers I'd say Mud Grapplers just because of the price difference while the quality seems to be pretty similar.

Is that the tire you went with, I cant wait to see some pics should look good!

Kansasjoe, Im still debating on the tires. I do mostly driving between work, school and home. But it would be nice to have a tire that would last 50K+

Can you take me some pics of the rims when you get them?? Im really intrested to see what they look like besides magazine ad pictures. What tires are you going to run? I saw a red dodge today lifted w/ moto metal 951's and the 36" BFG A/Ts that looked REALLY good. Im going to go by that dealer tonight and take a look further into this wheel/tire setup.
