Yes. I also have a set of wheels/tires you can use while yours are under the knife. They are just stock taco take-offs.

You may look into paint instead of powdercoat too...
 
that would be bling

It's $85 per wheel to powder coat. I guess I really can't say that its worth $340 to have gray wheels.
 
I'm a big fan of the TRD, but they are expensive.

If you want a set of 16's I have a set of the 5 spoke that have been passed around a bit, I also decided to change my plans so they are for sale again.

Steves old rims, I was going to paint them charcoal and run a more aggressive set of tires on them and just swap back and forth. But i'm electing just to throw a decent AT on my current rims for now

$100
 
FWIW, I was impressed with how bed lining the 18" Titan wheels on my '06 Xterra turned out. Very cost effective and easy to do yourself... Save that $$$. I'd have to dig up info to see which brand I used, as they are all slightly different in texture, durability, sheen, etc. Mine had a great look and were very durable for what I put them through.

That does look good Mudflap. Maybe I'll go that direction.

I stopped by les schwab and discount tire today. Les Schwab confirmed what Bear said...the km2's in the 285/70/17's are on a huge back order. His price was $360 per tire when he gets them back in...

Then I stopped at Discount and they had them in stock, and their regular price was $269 per tire...even lower than tirerack. I decided to jump on them so the truck got some new shoes today.

If i decide to powdercoat (or bedline, those do look sharp) the wheels, it's about $40 to have a shop break them down and remount them. I can live with that.

x2. The one thing they have going for them is that they have very knowledgeable technicians.
 
I know. I saw that promotion right when I got home. I left a message for the branch manager.

For tires they don't push, they are always way high. BFGs are a brand they don't really carry, can get and sell but they are always super high on the price. I've purchased a couple sets of rims and tires through them and if it's a set they recommend, the pricing is usually competitive. When I was pricing my BFG A/Ts, I don't remember exact prices but most shops were something like $300ish and Les Schwab was $550+ and they had to order them in so I'd have to pay shipping on top of that. I think I made the guy trying to sell me tires mad because I told him chrome rims were gay...I later found out he had chrome rims :rofl:

BTW, Good choice of tires Cody. Looks sharp. :cool:
