Sounds like a plan Fred, of course we will require pictures of the completed upgrades or they didn't actually happen.

I know we were debating the merits of the wheels and whether or not they are necessary. And please don't take it the wrong way but I think you are making the right choice replacing the stockers. I am not a fan of the grey steel wheels. Just my opinion.

Good luck and remember everyone's going to have an opinion on tires it comes down to what you want.

I have to admit, now that you posted pictures of the stock wheels I agree they were ugly and had to go.

Those are not the stock wheels that I have on my truck..

Those are stock base model rims! if the X ever made it to NASCAR those wheels would look good black! can`t wait to see a 2WD X on 20`s! it should look good sitting lower than a 4WD!
