Default Made a deal on rims.

I found a set of charcoal gray 18" Titan 5 spokes and am able to get them for $150 without tires. Thats all.

That's not bad. I got mine for $160 with two good tires and two shitty ones.

So where's the pictures? I seriously thought about getting Titan rims, but found some GMC Denali rims instead.

im thinking about getting some titan rims too, whats the best size to go with on these to get a low profile look to it without being too small of a tire.

im thinking khumo ecstas, maybe 255/55/18

I will probably go with Toyo Proxes myself. If you have not seen any other pics of Titan wheels, search "Titan" while in the Show and Shine section.

Thunder... I see you popped the logo out of the center caps. Are they screwed, glued, or other?

what size is the titan wheels? 18x?, 7 or 8" wide? if they are 8" then they are definately a good upgrade and slap some nitto 305's on them like txsilverado did...

They just clip into place...squeeze the plastic arms and they just pop right out. Very easy, and you don't have to break anything.

I didn't weight the wheels by themselves, but....my 16x8 wheels with 285/75-16 tires with about 20% tread left weighed 69.9 lbs each. My Titan wheels with brand new Toyo Proxes 275/55-18 tires weighed 67 lbs each.

I think 8" wide but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Thunder, that look is perfect. Very nice! IMO the amount of sidewall is just right, and the stance of the truck is spot-on.

I can't recommend Toyo Proxes S/T's highly enough. Excellent wet & dry traction, and they hold their compound consistency throughout the treadlife. These things ride and handle as good after 30k miles as they do brand new.
