No issues with mine.

no issues of frame flex and bumper contact that I know of. The bumper is on very tight.

as for the lug nuts. I have 2 sets. After rotating the tires, if one looked bad, I just replaced it. Then re powder coated it.

I may go back to the black wheels, or paint my H2 wheels black and go that way. I still like more offset than stock for my size tire. There was to much control arm and sway bar rub with the 37s.

If I am using the center caps (painted or not) I wouldn't need to bother about the lug nuts though. They would be hidden.

guess none of my comments or pictures helped with the stock wheel question.

I do still like what I said a couple months back.

Drivers side, blacked out
passenger side, chrome or satin.

Brst of both worlds.

or, you could just save up for a turbo

Well it looks like im going to be running my current BLACK wheels with NO center caps.


As of this writing, there are 85 votes in my first ever poll on DTR!

The leader is keep the black but lose the caps with 27 votes.

Runner up with 23 votes ....Is the "I could care less, it's your stupid truck do what you want", crowd!!


Close behind with 22 votes.....is keep it as is with the chrome caps.

And last place with only 13 votes is to get the Satin wheels and lose the black.


Since I actually have to SPEND MONEY to buy the Satin wheels I guess I will have to eliminate it as an option (for now).

I am running the truck with no chrome caps at the moment...and it's growing on me. Sure wish I had some 35'' BFG Muds on it!!!

Thanks Rat, I really appreciate yours and everybody else's opinions on it.

I can always just put the caps back on.


Now, where to find that $1000 for a new set of 35'' tires.
