    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    MHT is the company that makes the wheels. Fuel is their "offroad" series of wheels. Hostage is the particular style of wheel.

    ahhh....I see... Kindof odd naming - makes it seem like your mpg will improve by using the wheels...

    Looks great, I just hope you have better luck with those Nitto's then i did. I had them on my GMC Sierra, and only got about 30,000 miles out of them. After about 15,000 they started making that roaring sound that tires make when they start to get worn. They were good in the snow thou.

    30,000 would be awesome. The stock Goodyears that came on it were toast after 18,000. I bought this set slightly used with hopes that I can make it till next winter on them. I look forward to better traction in the snow. Again with the stock Goodyears, the first sign of snow meant 4x4 mode immediately.

    Improve fuel economy? Hahaha. I wish. Driving in rush hour traffic it gets a whopping 11.5 mpg.

    Nice looking wheels. I'm rather picky when it comes to wheels and I like those. You going to add fender flares?

    I want to get Dick Cepek FC-II's in a 35x12.5 17" for my truck

    Yeah i mentioned above i was. I actually ordered them today on a Black Friday Sale and saved about a hundred bucks.

    Bushwacker pocket style. I wasnt sure how far they would stick out but going from a +19 offset wheel to a -12 offset wheel and a 305 tire they stick out a good 1.5". I dont want to ruin my truck with rocks and crap all winter so I will have them painted and installed ASAP.

    I have Bushwacker OE Style flares on mine and they cover 1.75". Which just barely covers the tires. Pocket style painted to match your truck will look good.

    The black wheels look like someone stole your hubcaps :D LOL, they look good on there.

    In for pictures after the flare install. I've been debating on putting a set on mine too.

    Flares are painted and installed. They cover just enough tire and look great.

    Looks good! But the fender flares make the tires look small, time for bigger ones.

    Those flares really look nice, and they compliment the markings on the rims. Nice choices!
