Got the bug again

[matt78]

Well after hanging out with josh last Saturday night and making a few 4wd passes for the first time I do have the bug again. So my plans are to add drop shackles in the back and hunt for some nice 20 inch wheels. Right now the truck is all black,no chrome. I'm running 17 inch wheels with 285 70 17 nittos,but I need something that will not rub. I'm thinking about putting a chrome wheel or polished aluminum wheel back on so if anyone knows of some please feel free to let me know.

305/50r20 was a good choice for my old silver truck. I was only getting 20-25k miles out of them though.

Black milled finish looks good to me

Just wonder if a chrome or polished wheel would look good to offset the black?

This is one of my favorite wheels on the market right now. It isn't chrome, but it does have some shiny stuff on it to break up the black a little.

My personal opinion is a solid chrome wheel would look out of place on your truck. If you still had chrome bumpers and grille, you could pull it off, but since you've had that all color matched, I don't think it would work. That's just my opinion though.

I gotta agree with Josh on this one. Chrome/polished wouldn't look right. I think black trucks look best with chrome bumpers and wheels, but not tooo much chrome. Just my opinion..

BMF Novakane Death Metal Black FTW! Wrap a 305/50r20 on it...

You got that right!:thumb: I have Novakanes and have been looking for something different here lately. When I bought mine only a few people had them.

Anyone want my existing wheels and tires that are in the pic,900.00. Tread life is about 50-60 percent left if I had to guess. Just putting it out there

I've liked mine but thinking about changing it up now that I see a lot of em. Crappy pick but they are xd series hoss.
By the way what did the truck run?

 

[matt78]

Well we were at cedar creek,almost no prep.....tune 3 was a 7.8. Ish pass,but josh tweaked my tune 3 and 4 but I didn't run either again. On my last pass I was on tune 5,must have smoked the beams because it said I had a 1.39 60 ft,it was a good launch but not that good. It said 6.88 at 95 mph,so I'm guessing a low 7.

Nice. These are a few rims I've been looking at.

Here is a set of 20x10 Rev Dirty Harry's I used to run...on a chevy to help you picture it somewhat...

 

[matt78]

Kinda hard to say,I guess black with chrome ,as stated earlier, might be the best. With a set of good street tires

Added drop shackles to the back today,josh threw on a fass sump,and tweaked tune 5.
