Ah man they quit making them?!
I was going to buy some if i buy new wheels.
I'll probably be able to find some somewhere though.
I'll keep checking for some progress

yah you cant get the Cheyennes in a 22x12 anymore I have a few people offer me retail for em but I wanna keep em and run them

keep an eye out on craigslist I see them pop up once in a while but mostly a 20x12 I'll let you know if I run across any.

Thanks! just checked out your build thread...Frame is lookin NIIIICCCCEEE!!!!

did you have it blasted then powdercoated? I like the KMC Diesels as well they are a very nice wheel let me know how you like those Nittos if they are too noisy or not... I'm running the Toyos now and was thinking of goin with the Nittos because they have alot more of an aggressive tread pattern.

Not really progress..... but I sold my old wheels to my buddy so I put the 22x12 Weld Cheyenne 8s with 37" Toyo MTs on

gotta put the shackles and add a inch in the front rubs a hair when clocked all the way.

Love the Cheyenne's.

I thought about the 22's but thought black Diesel 20's would look best on mine. I bet I looked for 6 months and changed my mind 4 times before I decided what to go with. $$ savings always helps too.

I had the frame sandblasted and was going to powdercoat it but decided against it because of some pitting and poor welding by the previous owner. Used Kirker's carbon metallic single stage covered by 2 coats of Nason clear. It was almost a direct match for the remaining chassis parts I had powdercoated with Subway Black.

Yes I'm afraid the Nittos may be very loud but the deal I got was too good to pass on. I would have gone with the Toyos if this deal hadn't come along. Your Cheyenne 8s + Toyos is a combination tough to beat. My dream combination was Toyos + Dune 6s but I couldn't find any for sale at a reasonable price. Very disappointing Weld stopping making those wheels.

[QUOTE=SWB4x4;4159490]picked up a TH400 32 spline NP205 that has been redone and has the bling added as well

Love the bling on that thing. I think I'm going to have to do the same thing.

CussinDusty · 10-11-2010, 06:37 PM

NOOOO you sold the wheels!!

Those do look good though,and i do like the 37's more.

Nitto Mud Grapplers look awesome but they are LOUD,and don't do that great in the mud.

Chevymaniac · 10-13-2010, 02:09 AM

I like your tire/wheel combo, it goes well with the truck. I personally would have done the 20's, but everybody entitled to their own opinion.

CussinDusty · 10-17-2010, 03:32 PM

Hmm,I changed my mind about the wheels. The duece dueces look better.

thor · 05-20-2011, 03:45 PM
