Picked these up for $250 this afternoon. Two of them have a fair amount of curb rash, but I like em overall. I'll post some pics after I get them on tomorrow :D

I blame the laptop.

And my phone decided to be a jerk today and wasn't telling me the correct time, so I only had about 40 minutes until I had to leave for work when I only had one wheel on. So I put another wheel on to finish the rear and just went with that. I'll do the front tomorrow and take a couple pictures.

(I don't suppose there's anything I need to know about these that would be different than the stock wheels? I want to ask because it feels like I am doing every single thing wrong today.)

Nice truck.

Offsets are too high for my tastes but once you slam the **** out of it it'll look better. At least they aren't Sportmaxes or Rotas.

Oh yeah just for the heck of it, while you're still on 4x4 ride height, take some offroad shots in the snow!

I think they look good for $250, especially if they came with decent tires.

You do need to drop it a bit now, though. Keep an eye out for a used shock + spring combo.

It's a nice clean 5 spoke wheel design. I like it a lot!

Yes, in the future, a suspension drop and some spacers to move them out toward the fenders a bit would improve the look even more. But for now, they look great! Especially for the low price.

I definitely agree with you all on the height, but where I live HEAVILY prohibits this. I would be scrapping the whole underside everywhere I go. After college when I move to Phoenix I'll work on spacers and shocks, but for the next four years it'll stay like this

I hear ya. I only have a 2" drop and got stuck on a piece of ice last year. The car was literally teeter-tottering back and forth until someone came over and pushed the rear end down.

Yeah, I don't need that kind of trouble. I have enough trouble getting out of my driveway with my lack of skill using a 5-speed.

BTW, they are Enkei RS5 16" with 205/50R16 Falken ZE512 tires.
