What is the color of blue on this truck? I'm having mine painted "Blue Streak". It's a '00 rcsb.

I had them for on mine for 4 months. I ended up really not liking them in the end. I wish i could have seen them before i bought them.

I had a hell of a time getting them balanced, may have been a combination of tires too but i have never had an issue with Falkens before. Even once balanced they had a shimmy to them, i attributed it to bump steer but once i swapped to my tahoe 20s the whole issue went away. It really bugged me how the flat part on the face of each spoke was wavy, to be expected with cast wheels but it made them look cheap. In the lug holes its completely exposed unfinished aluminum and it looked horrible from up close. I dont believe the cosmetic problem would be the same with black ones. Just my 2 cents.

Thats why I'm on the fence about chrome. Too often the finish is less than spectacular and they look like ***. The wheel style definitely looks good though.

the shimmy could have been the washers on the rear drums.. i had that problem with my aftermarket wheels that dont have the recessed holes on the back of the rim..
