Since list traffic is slow, here is a picture of my truck http://neksiwel.20m.com/cgi-bin/i/images/p9150017.jpg with it's newly acquired alloys and 215/75 Kumho tires. These tires have a service rating of 98s, 70,000 mile warranty and were only $42 each. They do not have reinforced sidewalls. Since my truck is not as top heavy as a Westfallia I think I can get away with it. I have in the past. I described in an earlier post http://tinyurl.com/elux6 how I refinished the old wheels using Wurth spray paint http://sonus-usa.com/wus-892181.html. I found the lug nuts in a construction salvage warehouse, of all places, and the front wheel studs at http://wheelcomponents.com/images/studs/949 Centercaps finished it off from BD. Happy trails Ken Lewis http://neksiwel.20m.com/ |
