Well I finally met the Godfather of all Salesman while detailing a GMC pickup a while back. He had purchsed a set of tires and wheels that he decided he did not want to install on his pickup.

He told me that he would give me a deal that I could not refuse. He was right. We installed the wheels and tires today at a friends house. A good time was had by all.

I purchased Bridgestone H/P 265/70R tires installed on American Racing wheels.

Here is the Black truck with OEM wheels

The wheels lined up ready to be installed.

I am as happy as a kid with a new bike.

Looking pretty good. I`m not a fan of chrome, but those look nice because they aren`t overdone or anything. Congrats on the new wheels and tires!

Thanks for all the comments. will go to work today and let it sit for the week. Will polish and seal the wheels next weekend on my weekly cleaning regimen. The former owner of the wheels used S100 on them. I will use Poorboy`s WS next weekend.
