Red truck with 16x10 MT classic IIs and 35" tires. (sorry, no cap) The MTs are polished alum. and just a few minutes with a power cone and a little metal polish does wonders.






Red truck with black wheels. It just didnt work for me.

Thanks Brandon, I am leaning towards something shinny, although I do like some of the black/chrome combos.

Are you just looking into black rims or are you considering all finishes?
If you like chrome i think these are hot 18 inch truck rims and tires
I found those a while back while looking at stuff.
I really like some of those motometal rims that are black with a little bit of chrome in places but my truck has so much chrome and stuff that i dont think it would look right with black rims.

I didnt realize i had any FTE brothers so close im in harrisburg nc.

barry did lots of searching and found this if you go with a 20x10 rim with 35in tires you need at least a -9mm or greater offset to keep it from scraping the shocks couldnt find anymore rim sizes or offsets i did read the more - the farther out the rim sets under the fender well and more + farther in toward shocks it sits

I have been thinking about getting polished wheels for some time now. Most places though are going away from them. No one builds them any more. I hate chrome, they chip off within a year.

Just the Mothers powercone, my drill, and a little mothers alum polish. (hint: after you polish the wheels, wash them with soap and water, then hit them with silicone spray lube. It makes cleaning them the next time a breeze)

Hey if you're looking for some agressive, good looking tires that wear well, built the way they should be here in the US and get what you pay for, look at the Goodyear Duratracs. If you're wanting some REAL agressive tires, look at the Goodyear Wrangle MT/R with Kevlar, Those things are bada$$!


And both are competitively priced, but remember, you get what you pay for.
