Looks like the 18x9s run 219 each. 20x10s run 300 each. Mine are 20x9 but that width in 20" is only offered in black.

wait I a sec, did you have those wheels and tires photoshoped to your truck awhile back? I had seen this same truck with these wheels just without a level on here, and though it was exceptionally bad a$$ saved it to my pc to use as a guide for myself lol. I know cause the same grey building is in both pictures.
BTW that a decent price for those wheels man might have to check that place out when its time to get tires. What you give for yours?

My wheels were $240 each and tires were $327 each. Pretty good price. Was cheaper than 4wheelparts and I didn't have to pay shipping.


As for the photoshop, yeah that was me. I photoshopped the Monsters on some BFG KM2s originally. I thought the same thing after looking at that one picture. It looks very similar.

Man this place is terrible for the wallet....I've thought about the Roush grill and HIDs, actually, but I've spent enough $$ as it is right now. My next purchase is gonna be a detailing kit when tax money comes in. I have some terrible swirls in my paint.


I'll be back later--it's time to make a new sig.

Holy f**k your truck looks real awesome now man! Great choice. No the next thing you need is a lift That would look awesome. But I agree with the detailing kit, maintain that beauty

Funny thing is I'm considering buying a set of FX4 wheels locally for the brand new tires on them, and the chance to dispose of my hideous silver 17"s, and want black pro comp wheels for my truck. Your wheels are in-between what I want.

Thanks so much, man. I think I remember you said you were looking at the Pro Comp 7089s, right? That's not a bad idea to buy the FX4 wheels for the tires, but you'd have to go through the hassle of selling the wheels somewhere.

Yeah I want 7089s, in 18x9. Unsure of what tire, still loving the BFG A/T KOs, but am open to other options, I dont have alot of money to go throwing around.

The XDm 9mm in black were around $525, and the green/chrome slide combo was ~$620.

The XDs were in the $400 range.

Looks good man! Detailing black is a PITA, but well worth it when you're done and it looks great!

True but I rarely go North on 85 so I wasn't sure what was around. Probably heading up to Table Rock soon to snap some shots.

That's why this place is terrible.

Thanks! Yeah I've seen your shots before and after detailing. That's what I'm shooting for.

I appreciate it. They are the stock 18" wheels. Don't quote me on the width but I believe they are 7.5". I painted them myself here. I am planning on letting them go really cheap.









Took a few pics today, here's two:
