pics of my new rims and tires

Well towing home from the flats a few weeks ago I blew a rear tire and the tread ripped off and smashed rear of bed but luckily we were all safe

stinks to have the bed messed up.. but I will fix it someday

and since my tires were 16.5 i could not find any decent load E tires.. so I upgraded to some 17" rims and some load E tires

the rims are hummer rims that I had the centers milled out to clear the hubs.

Looks nice. I bet a set of 3rd gen center caps would finish them off nice.

I really like that whole setup! 1/20th the cost of a regular toy hauler, but still with all the perks. Plus once the rig is off the back you have a huge porch.

The new rims look good, the blow out sux. Doesnt look too bad though, hopefully its an easy fix.

The hummer rims look good on the truck. Best thing you could have done with a set of hummer wheels.
