good deal at Great SW discount tire store on wheels

[skalywags]

When I went in and got my Nitto's they tried to get me to buy these. If I was looking for wheels I may have done it, but I'm happy with the '03 stock wheels I have. They are selling them for $150 each. here they are:

Yep we ordered them for Rob's truck and they never came in in time. They got stuck with them.

[StormShadow]

Are they the smoothies or smothies II's?

[L1nt2B]

Sold!

[03LightningRocks]

Sold!

Damn..........that didn't last long. Someone just scored a good deal.

[StormShadow]

Sold!
So which are they Tim?

[L1nt2B]

I have not seen them but I have to asume they are the smoothies :D

[L8 APEX]

They were Smoothies but they are a set of 18x10's Rob ordered way back when. The first set came dinged and they ended up double shipping replacements so they have 4 and cannot return them. Rob only wanted two 10's for the rear DR's. But the Discount store manager says buyer must take all four not just a pair. That is why they have had them for ever and are giving them away. The offset is too much IMO. They stick out the fenders front and rear they have about a 6" deep lip to them.

They got what they asked for! I was aked by three guys including Brant, If i wanted them He told me they were 9.5, and the one on display had that written on the wheel. One of teh guys ask me about three times, so teh last time I told hm no, but I would post it on here. Brant told me they were special ordered for the L. At least I helped them get rid of them!

When I ordered the set, I originally wanted 18"x9.5" on the front and 18"x10.5" on the rear. However, unbeknownst to Discount, they were only available in 9" or 10" widths(no 1/2 sizes). I had the 9" width wheels on the truck for several months, while waiting on the 10" width wheels to come in for the rears (They originally shipped 4-9"W wheels because the 10's were on B/O or some crap.). The 9" wheels pinched the Drag Radials up, causing them to balloon on the sides, which looked kinda silly. So I waited on the 10" rears....and waited....and waited...and then I waited some more. When they finally showed up, one of them was damaged in shipping. It was at that point I decided to go with the Timeless 2's.

The wheels in that pic are definitely NOT the 9" wide wheels, that lip is waaaay too deep to be a 9" wide wheel. The 10's will look BADA$$ on the REAR, but I don't know about up front. I'd think long and hard about those fronts, Tim. That much lip up front could very well turn out to look a little hokey IMO. Test fit those bad boys. It's your truck, and if you like 'em then that's really all that matters.:tu:

Later,
Rob

[L1nt2B]

it does look a bit extreme but it is also very hard to tell without a tire mounted, if it looks bad in the front, well at least I didn't pay a whole lot for em and maybe someone will come along wanting the same set up that would be willing to trade 2-10's for 2-9's. any takers? one thing is for sure, I will be rollin phat! 4 sure!

WooHoo! New Shoes!

Here, you are bold!:tu:

[my2002lightning]

Those Boyd-Coddingtons look nice! :tu:

[skalywags]

yeah they look good! almost makes me wish I bought them. :beer:

[L1nt2B]

Thanks for the pic fix Terry...So what do yall think about the front offset? Im still on the fence about it but I would be willing to trade 2-10's for 2-9's
Brent is going to try to get another deal on some 9" if somebody wants a set

[L8 APEX]

They look good for your purposes. Remember the 9" looks nothing like that, it has less than half the lip depth! Nothing beats the 10" dish:cool:

I beg to differ. The 9" wide wheel still has a pretty fat lip. It's not as deep as the 10's, but then again, you don't really want the front to be as deep as the rears. It also gives the wheels a custom/tailored look, IMO.

Congrats on the new rollers Tim.:tu:

Depending on what he can get the 9's for I may be interested. I'm stepping down from the 20's to 18's so i can run drag radials fulltime on the rear.

I like those, but I'm also looking for some black/gunmetal with polished lip if anyone has seen any around ('01-'02 stock or aftermarket). Kinda like Terry had on his L, should have picked those up when I had the chance.:hammer:

[StormShadow]
