My new wheels!!!

Only 2 things I didn't like about my new Tundra, the red dash lights and the wheels. Well I took care of the wheels yesterday. I stayed with the stock 18" tires. They are the Mamba M1's. There was a snafu with the installation concerning the air pressure monitors. The tire company had to go to nearby machine shop to have a tool made to install the sensors on the new wheels. This company is almost 50 miles from where I live but they were $200 to $400 cheaper than several local shops to order, mount and switch the sensors for the exact same wheels. Anyway below are the pics. They look nicer in person though.

I like them. Nice contrast with the color of the truck.

I love them. They really give the truck a more exciting look. My wife wasn't too happy though. She like them but feels it's an unnecessary expense. She didn't know I was getting them. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

They are off road alloys which is good for me since I plan on doing a lot of off road driving. See website;

I got them from Ed Costante Tires in Vineland. I live near Atlantic City so Vineland is a bit of a drive but it was worth it because of a much lower price than the local places. It's a family operation run by father and sons. Very friendly people. Very patient. Some of the places around here it's like walking on egg shells asking questions. It's like they have no time for you.

It is a nice match. I think on that truck and with that color it's better than chrome.
