Figured I'd say something nice about your pile o parts since the ol bucket aint gettin no love here:angel:
Looks real good Mike, gotta give ya huge props on the wheels and tires, what a frugal buy, NICE! And it's a great lookin combo too
Any plans on a set of sport or 1/2ton mirriors?
Just curious man, the only thing that seems outta place to me is the mirrors. Its not your truck, I feel that way about the HD mirrors on lower(ed) HDs in general
Did you use the glossifier on the plastidip on your roof?

I didn't want 420's. Everyone around here has them. To date, I'm the first person I've seen that has the kumhos. I like the tread pattern better on the kumhos also.
They look good. More aggressive look to them and it looks like wet road manners would be better. How do they grab compared to the 420? Wheels look awesome btw. I'm going with these wheels and had intentions on getting 420's but I do like the Kumho look and price.

Well I have only put about 15 miles on them so far so it's hard to say how they compare lol
The wheels were $940 shipped. Then I paid another $42 for mounting, balancing and valve stems.
You Posta know man. Go drive the hell out them and let me know.
Sorry I thought he was asking me
Looks great Mike! I want wheels so bad but it totally kills the sleeper look. Curious how those Kuhmos hold up. One of the local tire shops is real big on them.
Finally wore out my falkens and I told myself I'd be switching to 20's and 305's.
Bit the bullet and ordered some Kumho ecsta stx 305/50/20's and some Vision 420 locker wheels. Wheels showed up yesterday and tires showed up today.
Had them mounted, balanced and installed this afternoon.
Needless to say, I am in love. Looks so much better than before. These tires ride so smooth and are extremely quiet. Very happy with this purchase.
Do you think these wheels would look OK without the center cap? I have been leaning towards the SOTA Novakanes, but these are really close in looks for a lot less money.
I am just not a fan of the plastic center cap. Would want to have exposed lugs and put a round center cap in behind the wheel.
Is this possible and do you think it would look good/OK.
Thanks!
