From what I have head the Rockstars are cheap imported made in China Junk! People have reported them cracking! If you want a quality wheel consider a Forged Aluminum wheel from Alcoa! A much better choice!

Thanks yall, Kevlap not sure what the picture was meant to be showing..
Risupercrewman mine never cracked, but the centercaps backing out twice on me is a little bad in my book... Lost a good number of bolts holding them on every wheel.

couple pictures from when I went hiking earlier:








and one back at home where I try to take progress pictures:

Beautiful truck! The new wheels look much better than the Rockstars. I never was a big fan of Rockstars in the first place.

Looks good, but would look even better if you out some tire gel on those tires.


GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a big fan of roof racks, but I think one with lights on top would look great on your truck.

Might think of picking some tire gel up, it's just really annoying to put it on with the sidewalls on toyo m/ts. Spray on stuff is alot easier.

Roof rack would be kinda cool, but I'd be afraid to drill into the roof for it. And I already have problems with parking garages down in Atlanta :/

Yeah, I didn't get one because I prefer not drilling in the roof. And a roof rack would look a little out of place in Atlanta, but it still would look good to me.

Glad I'm not the only one afraid to drill through these trucks!

i agree with most about rockstars being overplayed. these look 100x better on your truck, nice!

and i used black magic tire shine on my tires and it works great!

I'm a Rockstars fan, but kudos to WheelPros for taking care of its customers.

Thanks guys!
97isntold: The spray kind? Or is it gel? Last time I tried using a gel, it took me a very long time... sidewalls are annoying. Looked good afterwards though.
and Niel, I like them too. Not so much anymore now that I see them everywhere though. And I like these alot more so far on my truck, and I used to love my Rockstars. Lost sleep worrying these wouldn't turn out as good honestly.

Before:


After:


Success IMO.
