Thanks to HP383 for providing part #'s awhile back.

Whatcha' think?

Before: Typical 'ugly '93 Dakota wheels with hard as heck 235/75/15 truck tires...



After: 15X7 soft eights all the way around with a 235/70/15 tire (I want to be able to rotate the tires)




Really accentuates the dents and crappy paint, don'tcha think? laugh2

Ride is SO much better now. The previous tires were too freakin' hard, and were flat - out dangerous in the rain. I put this off for so long because I was looking for a later set of Dakota (factory) rims, but, every set I found they wanted stupid money for them.

I ordered everything thru Summit. I requested they mount everything up before shipping, and they forgot to. But, they took $100.00 off the bill for their mistake without me even asking (they called me before the wheels even arrived) which brought the tab to $666 and change. nervous laugh2

It's gonna seem weird not skating evry which way when it rains.

I'm not normally a fan of black wheels, but they are a nice improvement over your stock wheels, which themselves are a better choice than the "Daisy-flower-power wheels mine came with! LOL!

It looks great John! The dish is an important aesthetic we don't see enough anymore.
