Wheels look great, and I also prefer the standard caps. Since it's fresh and the only change you've made- curious if you've noticed any difference in ride quality?

This thread hasn't been updated in a while, anyone still want to split a set of 18's?
Seems there are no other full sets of SVT's (sorry guys) but surely there's got to be some other Lariat or KR sets around.

I still have a few spares and a line on 4 more lariats. The other set of lariats I have my eye on is $300 with no caps or lug nuts. If i can pick up the lariats i’ll post on here and get a head count of whose needing a spare wheel.

Sounds good. Need one before I make a trip back home. One of the guys bought 2 SVT's but I can pretty much guarantee that he won't find another 2 for a loooong time while he watches Lariats and KR wheels slip by at half the price. Wish him luck though and if I find a pair of SVT's I'll see if he wants one.

Just picked up 2 new old stock SVTs. Guy had already sold the other two by the time I got to him. Was a great deal so have a little cushion on what to pay for 2 more. As I told Thor363, I’ve got plenty of rubber on my stock 16s so I’m in no rush but might be willing to trade for a mint set of king ranch or lariats. Haven’t made up my mind whether to chase the white whale of finding 2 more good SVTs (at a good price) or go a different direction.

I have to grab an 18" spare this week for a trip very soon. Any chance you have one ready to go? PM me if you do, please and thanks.

I found my unicorn so wanted to let anyone looking for a single Lariat know that I just confirmed with Wheels America that their Houston location has one remaining Lariat available. Pics coming soon didn't cut it for me so I had them send me a photo of the one they had remaining.
Here's the link, and the photo they sent me right after checking with them. The Internet price is MUCH cheaper than what they list for locally.
Someone needing a 2004 18" Lariat? (They also have the one with the Tan pockets if needed)

Of the 4 versions of the OEM '04 18" wheels the H-Ds were the highest production, then the KR, then Lariat and the SVT model was very limited production. I bought my Lariats with 50% tires a few years back for $600. I negotiated and bought a set of H-Ds with center caps with brand new (less than 3 month from build date) Michelins for Mecdac for $750 about three years ago, that was a smoking deal! Getting the correct matching center caps and lug nuts, especially if the intended vehicle has the matching fine thread lug studs ('03+) really adds some value to the package.
Of course the single biggest factor in pricing should be condition, these are 15 year old 3/4 or 1 ton truck wheels so finding a really clean set is getting harder every day.
For me, in my area, I would be happy giving $600 to $800 for a complete set with usable tires, especially if those tires were something that I was going to use for a while.

Thanks for the input, the tire appear decent but I haven’t seen a pic of the tread and only one wheel has the center cap in the pictures. Wheels them selves look fairly clean but there are some clip on weights on the outside that will be coming off first thing. I’ll probably spray them with plastidip so the overall finish doesnt matter a lot. Guys asking 800 and it looks like well be trading some firearms. Atleast now i know what would be a decent trade
