thank you! LOL i really suck at spelling.


i like the 15x7s and i have no need for 8s i dont plan to go over 31s.but i still will have the option of 32s.

I think the 8s would've been a better choice. Would've given it a better stance too. Suprisingly, alot of companies offer the 15X8s cheaper than the 15X7s too.

Agreed and you do often get a better price as they are a much more commonly used size.

Good old supply and demand at work

Is it just me, or does that seem high for a polished wheel?

15x8's would have suited the 31's and possible 32's better.

the stock 15x7s have done just fine and look great with the 31s. so thats what im sticking with. i also dont wanna have any extra tire/wheel hanging out past the fender.

with shipping to alaska it would have been way more then i payed(most of the time the "free shippng" is only for the lower 48 states). plus i got the lugs/stems.

i got them for $100 each and i got 20 chrome lug nuts,chrome steel valve stems for $425 out the door wheels and everything. the wheels and stock tires and wheels are at the tire shop right now. but its busy cause its tire change over season(changing from studded tires to summer tires) but they will be done at 5:45 today....pics to come!!!
