Here you go.....





Mine are the chrome version...I orginally wanted the machined/black version but i waited on them for months while they were on backorder so i gave up and spent a little more on the chrome ones. Im glad i got the chrome.

I have a set of eagles, not this series. They are the super finish aluminum. I like them a lot. I spend quite a bit of time keeping them polished, that's the only down side.

I have had them for almost a year and love them. I have had no problems out of them so far and they are really easy to clean.
I have Eagle Alloys on my jeep(can see in my photo album), had them for about 4 years and i have put them through the test...they have seen alot of offroad and no problems out of them. So i think Eagle Alloys are really good quality. I would buy them again.

Other than right now (take the tires/wheels off for winter) i usually keep her washed once a week. I polish either every time or every other time just depends on what kind of driving i did. For the times I don't, I have some aluminum wheel spray that I clean them up with.

The reason why i got the Eagle Alloy is because I like the full fake bead lock on them( its only partial on moto metals) and the center caps are twice the size of the moto metals. I have always been like why did they put such a small cap on such a big rim?

On your truck I would go with the machined/black version...I assume you do know that on this version it is not chrome, it is machined alum. I wanted this one because it is low maintenance. no worries about pitting.

what would happen if u just wash then with soap and water, would they get messed up thourhout the year of as time goes on as in getting spots on it getting a hazy look to it or rustin?

Blowing the dust off of this one. Does the super finish not have a clear over the machined aluminum? I like this wheel but I don't want to be polishing raw aluminum all of the time. Been there, done that, ain't doing it again.
