well..i'll be donked
here's a very nice truck,i try very hard not to pick on others tastes.the way i look at it.it didn't come out of my wallet,let em do whatever turns em on...but i had to pass this along.you really got to wonder if ride quality with that sidewall means anything to them.my son works at a tire store and people come in all the time and spend between 5k to 10k for rims and tires then come back and say."this doesn't ride good anymore". i'll be donked

Re: well..i'll be donked
I'm with you on this... NICE truck- but I would rather have both the RIDE QUALITY and LOOKS.
BTW: What's a good 18" front with 20" rear set up... are there any when it comes to this combo? Thanks, Anthony |

Re: well..i'll be donked
I'd take it....sell those ugly rims and tires, buy a nice 5-7 for it, with some 17" torque thrusts....and still have plenty of money left over.

Re: well..i'll be donked
Great trucks, but I just don't get the tire/rim combo. Maybe I am just too "old school". I am not knocking anyone for their taste (don't want to offend anyone), but I just don't get it.

Re: well..i'll be donked
On that first truck, do those tires hold air in them or are they all rubber? I am also old school. To me just looks too thin to have any air in them.

Re: well..i'll be donked
Lets see, no sidewall means no sidewall flex. That means a very harsh ride. If you want a harsh a ride from no sidewall and want donk rims than have you thought about wagon wheels? I am sure thoes are bigger than 30 inches.
