Time for the Winter Bling Bling...

[DarkFury]

Yeah.. it snows pretty bad here, so instead of forking over MAJOR cash to put some snow tires on my stock 20 wheels (BF Goodrich makes a 285/55/20 that would be close to the stock 20" size) which would have cost nearly $350 each... I decided to just go an buy a new set of 17" wheels and tires which ended up costing me LESS than just buying 20" rubber (Pretty much what I paid for both tires and wheels cost about $50 per wheel less than just buying 20" rubber... geez 20s are EXPENSIVE!!!).

Yeah... it's kinda sad having to take off the 22s... but hey, potholes here are a mutha... and I ain't takin' no chances.

Here's the pics...

You are doin' a corporate downsizing to reduce cost but they don't look too bad as winter wheels/tires.

those 17s are nice. i like the wheel better than your 22s but that is just a matter of preference. way to go saving yourself some bucks and getting another look for your truck.

Now that you're set for both summer and winter, sell the stock 20" setup and recoup some of your $$$...

Looks good even with the 17" combo on there--nice! :thumb:

Actually... I already did...

The store I bought my new tires for gave me about $950 for the OEMs...

Pretty much they go for a little bit more on Ebay... but I didn't want the hassle of trying to sell and ship them nor did I have room in my garage to store them. :D


Nice!

Indianapolis, my man! I was born in Plainfield, IN and head to Indianapolis, Greenwood, Mt. Comfort, and Plainfield on holidays. I'll keep a look out for a red Ram on I-465! :D

I like the new wheels better than the old.
