go chrome, you will be glad you did when you see what the polished wheels look like after a few months. Thats why I had my budniks chromed. Its almost zero maintenence, and i think the chrome does look better anyways, as long as its done right

Man, go chrome! My last set of wheels were polished, and after the first two times of " this ain't so bad" when polishing, it quickly turned into a PIA! Just my .02.

Alright.. I got them today and went with the chrome ones. I got them
mounted for $1,1600 tax included. I really got an awesome deal.....
I went ahead and went with the Cooper 275/45/20 since I had a choice between this one and the Eagle GT II. After takking the original wheels of the bed and taking for a spin, I was impressed by the traction I got from these tires. Much better than the original. Before I would spin my tires like crazy. Now, I can shirp for about 5-10ft. Looks like will be getting traction bars next.

That is a super deal in my opinion. I don't know why, but my chrome Centerline Lexi's were like $2500, and I shopped them around! Are those the Forged Centerlines? and if so, why so much cheaper then like the Lexi's or the others??

Yes, they are forged. I really don't know why he let them go so cheap. He initially quoted me for $2,000 on these and was able to bargain with him.

The Stingray 3 are in the Tomahawk series and the Lexis are in the Millenium series of wheels. Tomahawk from what I heard is a more affordable series.

Please post pics of your truck with the new wheels/tires.

If you get what you pay for, this stuff must be great.
