new laces

ok, so I FINALLY got my new wheels. The ones I ordered got here today. got to the shop (after needing a new radiator LONG STORY) and my buddy looked at me like he was hacked. I got out of my truck and he said that someone had already mounted the wheels and screwed up the finish. to top it off, he put one on his balancer (has the capability to check wheel balance without tire) and found a bent rim. It wanted 17oz of weight WITHOUT a tire . So he said we can either order another set (mind you Pete already bought the old wheels and I needed to ship them to him) or we can call around and find another set. So we got on the horn and found a totally different set but I like them mo betta! Here is a pic from my cell phone and will have better pics when the truck is clean and I can get a moment to shoot better ones.

I like them! Something different. Sucks about the bent rim though. Anyway, it sure does make a man feel better when he gets some new shoes with new laces!

What is the brand of these rims, and do they come in black spokes, with chrome around the outsides?

they are Eagle 064. I am not sure what other styles they come in. the warehouse where we picked them up gave us a tour and showed us some new stuff coming out but were not yet available. I think they have black spoked with chrome insides but can't remember the model #

Cool, I really like the style in the pic above, but with the color of my truck, I would really like the black spoke with chrome trim better, whats the width of yours?

these are 20x10 can't remember the actual backspacing but I still have over 2 inches before the tire even gets close to rubbing the control arms.

ya it is. my buddy's grandson passed away last year and was 9. Make-a-Wish sent Joshy and his family to Disneyworld and he had a blast. I totally believe in their doings. It does make a difference.
