I've joined the club, NEW WHEELS! ---UPDATED w/ PICTURES!---

Gotta love tax season. Even though it was my money to begin with, that tax return went to good use this year. I bought a new set of shoes and skins for my 07 FX4.

Even though most people feel they are over played and almost everyone has them, I've never seen another set of Rockstars on a bright red FX4. There were supposed to be mounted tomorrow, but USPS fell through on the delivery of my 2.5" AS leveling kit. So, looks like Monday is the day for me. I'll post pictures as soon as they are on. I'm going to need some opinions on whether or not my chrome step bars will have to go.

Its good to be a part of such a neat group of people. So many different styles, but none identical, I love it.

i went with the black, 20x8.5 with 33x12.50 Toyo MT's, would have been 35's but my truck has 3.55 gears... oh well. The setup is real common on this forum, but i've yet to see it on the street or off. the leveling kit came in too late today to have my local customs shop put it on. Monday is the day. I'll also be selling my 20" stock wheels, any idea how much those should go for....? From what I've seen here its about 650, that seems low considering i paid 180 for a single replacement when one cracked.

I'll try to get some before and after pictures up here on Monday. at that same time i'll be taking suggestions on what needs to be done next to make my setup look decent.

as promised.... its legitimate now! I need suggestions on the chrome step bars, they are extremely handy to get in and out. But do they take away from the truck? Thanks to any suggestions.

I have to get used to not being able to see as close to the front of the truck. I'm PUMPED!
