Since list traffic is slow, here is a picture of my truck

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
