The shop that scratched them owes you new wheels, end of story. No cheap repair will be good enough or last. You spent big money on wheels and there are plenty of shops that appreciate that and can mount tires without scratching your wheels. I did mine locally for that reason exactly. I wanted to deal local just in case something like this came up. Sorry to hear but I wouldn't stop until they replaced the wheels they messed up.

 

Anyway, here's a teaser of my new shoes. Method NV 0 offset with 295/70/17 RT's.

Nice! I'm thinking of ditching my black NVs for Bronze.

The bronze are sick. I chose machined face because I'm leaving all the small chrome accents on my ltz and thought the bronze would clash. Bronze would look amazing on your blue rig! Do it!

Need that money tree to start dropping some, then we'll see.

Well I just got back from the tire shop with new shoes for the truck. Toyo AT2 305/55R20's. They seem to have minimal rub at full lock reverse, but not sure if it's the UCA's or the mud flap, so will have to take a gander to find out. Oh and excuse the dirtiness of the truck, but it's going to rain tomorrow... ;)

How you liking the ridge grapplers? I'm trying to decide between them and the KO2s

I don't have any experience with the KO2s but I have had these Ridge Grappler on for around 1000 miles and so far I am very impressed with them. very quiet for how aggressive the tread is.

I'm torn between the Toyo RT and the Nitto Ridge Grappler as of late. Like, the design of the Toyo really catches my eye, but the siping of the Nitto gives me the impression that it'd probably be a slightly "safer" tire in wet conditions. Trying to shop by price really hasn't helped me much, as there is only a $10-20 difference for a set. I know there aren't many people running the Ridge Grapplers yet but what would y'all's take on my "dilemma"?

I have RT's and just cruise at 80 in the rain no problem and they grip well in the snow and sand. No experience with the ridge grapplers but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either. I'm very happy with Toyo. I don't think I'll ever buy another brand. I even just bought my wife toyos for her car and they kick ass also. Took half ounce to balance too [emoji1303]

33x12.50r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Wheels 18x9 -12 offset. 4.5" lift. Tires ride great and are super quiet. Better tire than the toyo at 2 they replaced. They are very heavy though.

 

You always do it up right. If I had money to burn, that's what my truck would look like (except I like my factory grill).

Thanks, funny you mention the grille, I've been looking at putting the 2016 headlights in, and a factory all terrain grille looks best with those headlamps, like zmnypits truck. Next mod is either the 16 headlamps or denali instrument cluster.

    • The "source" a woman, that writes the article is not a far right person. She's pretty well known "car person". She writes her own stuff, but yes it is initially posted under the Blaze, because they purchased the right to post it first, before it is posted on her own sites. It doesn't mean the info is any less valid. the article itself is not political It's not meant to discount any current actions in the Iran   Only posted the link because that's what has to be done to be legal to post the article. The Blaze is not a site I use. Lauren Fix's page pointed me there and I have to use a bypass method to look at the article since I'm not about to join the site. I've posted articles over the years from the Lefty sites, seems you didn't have a problem with that.   But you do you, keep looking at everything only through left/right lenses.   The 3 or 4 of you that participate in the some of the comments had ample chance to read everything. Other members that don't care for it, send in comments, because as they will point out, political talk is discouraged. Both "sides" complain    
    • Would be cool if someone made something most people would like.   Like a plug in tune that is to the end users desire minus messing with the throttle petal factory settings. Sport, economy and WFOT. 
    • I don’t. The source is a far-right fake news site perpetuated by Glenn Beck. Funny how you clean up political posts and then regurgitate garbage from politically tainted sites. 
    • Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off.   I used to be in the retail gas/service business. Pretty much a $1 increase in WTI would increase my price by maybe .10 cents. Now WTI can go down and retailers can get hit with a .35 cent increase out of nowhere.   I thought it was interesting read, since this is being used on all products we buy now
