He left the chain and sprockets out of the bike auction, and the controls too. He must have really tore that poor thing up to dismantle and auction it. Truck looks terrible too.

not much respect on here for the custom crowd, i see. i don't like 22.5s on our trucks but try to separate large wheels from stereotypes.

Looks like poop!! I love to customize my trucks but not with semi parts. To me that is just plain ugly, no way around it. A nice set of aftermarket rims and tires is great but thats rediculouse. I had a black 95 Chevy Z-71 all dolled up in chrome parts and even entered it in a show for the heck of it. I had aftermarket rims and tires on it that turned heads and got lots of compliments from all walks of life but they looked like they belonged on the truck. Those arnet even fancy. There just plain old stock boring SEMI rims and tires. Oh well to each his own I guess but honestly if I seen him on the street I would laugh(sp) at it.

I agree w/ most of you, 22's are a little too much. I think the 19.5's are where it's at!

Yep......Thats more like it. I’m down with that. (Trying out my youth language)
Thats a nice rig. Although cuttin loose with the bucks for regular tires is tough enough let alone paying for specialty tires and wheels. Not only that when your out of town and have tire/wheel issues "who ya gunna call?" Happened to some folks I know that had 20s on their dodge a couple years ago. Blew a tire in BFE, actually someplace in Kansas, waited two days for a tire. Can’t remember what the deal was with the spare. See I already talked myself outta those good looking combos......that was easy!

You are right on 20's and 17's, but 19.5 is the most common light truck tire and is available anywhere, as are the wheels. Once the adaptors are on, no problem.

H.I.D. :
I noticed the 19.5s have a 10 lug pattern. What would be a decent price for a set of used wheels like the ones shown above cost? And the tires look pretty pricey?
There I go again hijacking a thread...myhumbleapologies.

Dusty I don't have prices right off the top of my head. The wheels come in several styles and lug patterns, like Chevy van wheels from a junk yard. The larger ten lug pattern require adaptors like from Chromewheel.com. Also tires come is so many price ranges. Tires on them are extremely heavy duty but are cheaper than the best in 16 inch. I need to switchto them myself. All depends on what you want to spend I guess. Cheap way would be low end tires and used rims with simulators. Check on other threads here, a lot of info on them.
