Wheels that is! These things look great, especially with the Dodge caps on them. Thanks for all the advise on how to modify these right. It was well worth the hassle....

ooooooh chrome looks nice man, well worth the hassle as it fills up the wells and gives a wider stance..... good that you have flaps to tame the rocks a bit. now try to be nice with the right foot or you will be looking for new meats out back in 20,000 miles. more if ya rotate em.

Those are the best looking set of H2 wheels I have seen on a 3rd Gen! Very cool!

Thanks guys. I opened up the hubs myself. I'm probably going to have to get some flares now since these stick out of the wheelwell about 1.5". I was already running 315s before, only on stock rims. Mikmaze, I may drive like an idiot sometimes but I know better than to spin them too much as I have purchased 3 sets of these tires so far. The third set is on standby in the garage on alloy rims unless someone buys them. I'd keep them for sure if I hadn't spent the $$$ to get them mounted and balanced...

Thanks again. I think they look great! Even my 4 year old daughter commented on how much she liked them without me even asking her.

Those are the first ones I have seen in chrome as well and they do look awesome. I want some of those! Do the H2 wheels come in a chrome option or did you have them chromed?

Lurch, I've been running 315s for over 2 years on stock rims and my mileage is down about 1 mpg but my rpms are only about 2000 at 70 mph. Hwy mileage doesn't seem to be as effected as city mileage though. I did notice a power difference going from the stock 265s to the 315s but a fueling box makes up for that and then some.... By the way, 16 mpg city and 19-22 hwy depending on how slow I can drive. 19 at 75 mph and 22 at 60 mph but man it sucks driving that slow!!!

cga97, I haven't noticed any rub whatsoever. I did with the stock rims/315s though at full lock.

AKRAM, these came off of a brand new H2 but the strange thing is that they came with some plain center caps that were done very badly. I don't know if he had them done or not but they look great right now. I'll report back in a year or so and let you know..

Ya Dodgezilla, They look great! The only complaint I have is they throw mud all over my truck. Tonight I ordered the Powerwagon fender flairs from dodge parts . com, they just started carrying them and have them on their front page FYI.

I'm really liking the look of those wheels man! I'd definately take those wheels and tires in your garage off your hands if I wasn't about to drop a couple grand on a trailer....
