I picked these up off craiglist Saturday night for 525 bucks...18" Chrome RVM wheels on like new Toyos ( 255/55/R18). Not the best looking wheel, but better than stock. And yes, these are only my good weather wheel/tires, the stockers will go on in late fall.

step one...scrub off tire shine
step two...get simple green, spray tires, scrub them....theyll look as black as they were new

Black but they wouldn't be shiny, which was the issue ;)

Its the almighty 2 foot high pile of mulch the ford got stuck on and had to be pulled off. But nice addition of rims.:wink:

Yes, yes it was. Thanks to my 2" of ground clearance. My frame is lower than my running boards for heaven's sake. And gracias.
