Icon2 New Wheels.....help me decide...
Looking at getting new wheels.....there is someone interested in my DC-1's so I might get new ones...haven't decide yet...

new wheels will be a 15x10.

Choice #1:
Mickey Thompson Classic II's: (they have been on the truck before)
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku




Choice #2:
Mickey Thompson Classic Lock:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku



Choice #3:
DC-1 Polished:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku



Choice #4:
Other....You fill in your opinions....i don't want to spend more than $150 a wheel for them.....all your options need to be a 15x10 with 3.75 BS...

I really think you should save your money towards a new set of tires. I think they detract greatly. The wheels, altho not my favorite in the least, are really clean and shiny. The tires? Dirty and they have an ugly tread pattern with a really blank sidewall.

i wouldnt have to save to buy new tires, but i don't want to take tires off my truck that have 7,000 miles on them just to let them sit and rot in my backyard.....get my drift
