New Wheels

I finally got my new wheels after waiting a week for the centers to get painted and the correct offset figured out.




I'm really happy with the look and got a super good deal.

They look great! Who made them? Are they 16's? Were they completely chromed and you painted over it in the center?

Yes I can, I presume these are the ones, have you any hub caps to go with them, they look pretty good.

Fronts are 15x6 with BF Goodrich 215/70/15 and rears are 15x8 with 255/70/15 and a 4 1/2 offset (on the rear).

I had a choice of the entire wheel red (or any color) or just the centers. They sent out the centers to be painted then welded the wheels at my desired offset.

Robert at Pro Inc Tire & Wheel 562-404-8558 was a great help and very patient allowing me to try a couple different assembled wheels to dial in the correct offset. He also owns a classic truck and car so he wanted me to be happy.

I initially found the shop on eBay but then noticed he was fairly close to my house to I drove over to check it out.

The entire package including tax was $700.00

Here are some more pics.

I haven't tried pulling the boat with it yet. Do you think I would have enough tire clearance in the fenders?

That actually makes me curious now about the towing capacity of the truck.

Does anyone know?

Truck looks pretty small beside that yacht but have seen Rangers and S10' pulling some fairly big loads. Would kind of make me nervous but then I'm not used to pulling a trailer that often either.

I'll just leave it up to the imagination. I don't want to ruin either one(the truck or the boat).
