Got my rims done and new tires.

Ok well they are not as bad ass as battlemode's new tires but hey, what you gonna do for a $600 set of tires right?

The rims are the 17 x 7.5 polished six star rims from a Denali (sp?) I picked up last fall for $75. The clear coat was chipping in a couple spots and was nasty where the wheel weights were, so I sanded and painted them. Here is the finished result curing before they get mounted this Wed. They were a little bling bling for my taste, so I went with a dark gunmetal gray color since everyone and their dog is running black wheels around here.

I also went to get my tires and the tire shop had a set of new take offs from a Jeep Rubicon. Same tire I was there to buy anyway, BFG Mud Terrain KMs 255/75 17. Less than 100 miles if that much, they still have the mold overflashing on the tread. He said "$600", I said "ring it up."

Will update the build page when they get mounted.

Crazy the variability of those tire's cost. When I purchased mine (same tire) they were $102 per tire. It was $550 for 5 tires shipped.

Tire Rack.

My first 4 from an eBay vendor in Philladelphia, $75 a tire picked up. My spare which I bought months later cost me $125, I think.

[bartonmd]

Yeah, they're $200 each on Tire Rack, now...

Yup the cheapest quote I could find including online was from Discount Tire, $1,038 with mount, balance, and taxes. So with mount at $64.00 tomorrow it will be right around $700 total. Under $800 with the rims. I am looking for another rim to mount my spare onto.

YAY after being put off twice since Nov. my truck doesn't look like a ________ anymore.

They stick out about 1.5" more than I wanted but oh well.

Wow, no kidding about tire volatility... Battlemode's KM2's used to be $145 each, now they're pushing $175!
