Not the best of chops.......but it works! The wheel is a little too bright in this pic, but you get the idea....

These are off of a 2012 Laramie Longhorn. Going to be painted PXR black. I am going to call the dealer in the morning too, see if I can get the other center caps for these. These say "Longhorn" on them. I've seen them where the just say RAM. If so, the RAM will be in silver too.

Graps will be gone, I have a set of 275/65/20 Toyo A/T IIs hitting the door tomorrow.

Here's what they look like stock

and how close the silver paint is to my paint

Also nabbed a set of OEM TPMS sensors for under $50 on eBay. The guy that had these before removed them to put them on his new wheels and tires.

and thank you for answering my questions on the tires the other day! :D

$950 shipped on those, I think I did pretty well on that! ;)

Even better..........my painter is painting these for free! Merry Christmas to me!!!

Yeah, thats going to look good dude

12-16-2012, 12:33 PM
really wish these were 5 spoke, but........eh, 6 is good too. :D

I like these, but after looking at them a few times.......the design I have would have been a bit more of a pain - and........well, I see everyone and their mom will probably modify those new sport wheels.

I doubt I'll see many of these modded up out there. :D

The guy who put my level has a sick set of custom wheels on his truck and back when he was doing my lift we were talking about doing some work to my wheels but I couldn't think of anything that would look good with these wheels.

It's going to look awesome.... Whats the ETA of them being done?

0212353
12-16-2012, 12:58 PM
I'm hoping to have them next week. I'm off next week, so I'll probably make an appt somewhere for the tires to go on, all that jazz.

I want the clear to sit on the wheels a few days before I f with it...........ya know......lol

I'm so freakin' impatient on this stuff. Luckily with the jobs I have here right now, I could get these in this week. Next week he's got 3-4 more sets of lights to do (on top of the 2 this week plug my wheels). Keepin' that effer busy..........then I gotta get my new heads and fogs in there somewhere too. :)

12-16-2012, 01:02 PM
Is he done with your new heads and fogs?

0212353
12-16-2012, 01:06 PM
oh no.

I haven't had time to start on those yet. LOL

Heads are going to be 2013s. I sent a light to my guy in GA to build a plate for them to put a FXR projector in them. Will be a direct swap when its all ready to go - which will kick ass!

Fogs........I am not sure what I'm doing there yet. I might shove a FXR in those too........cuz...........its never been done before. Who the F runs that big of a projector in a fog light? This dumbass? Maybe.

:D

And of course, paint paint paint. Kyle, you will want to steal them when its done. ;)

I might take you up on that offer buddy. Do you have any pictures of them close up on any other thread or your website?

0212353
12-16-2012, 03:26 PM
I've got pics of 'em ripped apart. LOL

12-16-2012, 03:49 PM
Sounds like she's going to be changing a lot...AGAIN...soon. Also, I saw where someone used a projector in a turn signal...kind of cool looking. Thoughts?

0212353
12-16-2012, 03:55 PM
I tossed one in there once........took a pic and thought "gay"

LOL

But, hey - I'm not the end all on ideas! :D:D

Those wheels will look awesome Jeremy! I wish the Sport 5 spokes were a 22" :)

0212353
12-17-2012, 12:39 PM
yeah, 22s would be nice on a lowered one.........not for me though! :D

Those are fucking awesome! They fit your truck much better than the old wheels.

0212353
01-03-2013, 03:14 PM
yes they do! I kinda miss the wide ass tire though. lol

20mm makes a huge difference! but, these are amazing dude - thank you for the chat on them. LOVE the way they ride.

myoung84
01-03-2013, 03:18 PM
Hell even 10mm makes a difference. I went from a 295 to 285 and they look a lot narrower. Going from an MT to an AT doesn't help either.

Glad you like the tires! I had them in some snow and ice over Christmas and they were pretty damn good!

0212353
01-03-2013, 03:20 PM
part of me wishes that these stuck out just a hair more............like 1/4" :D but, it is what it is. I'm sure in about 2 weeks I wont give a shit about that. lol

BMRbrnSNRbrd
01-03-2013, 03:21 PM
I would have never believed it, but damnit those are badass! This makes me want factory R/T 22s even more.

myoung84
01-03-2013, 03:27 PM
Toss on some 1/4" spacers. But I hear you. That first two weeks after "downsizing" kind of sucks. My truck is finally starting too look normal to me again.

0212353
01-03-2013, 03:32 PM
no spacers, I just can't deal with the retardedness of vibration. Had 1/4s on the fronts of the last set..........

myoung84
01-03-2013, 03:36 PM
Do they not make 1/4" hub centric spacers?

edit: Why yes they do:

0212353
01-03-2013, 03:46 PM
100 a pair?!?! those look just like what I have...........hmm

maybe it was the tires not the spacers. lol

myoung84
01-03-2013, 04:04 PM
Do they fit snug around the hub?

0212353
01-03-2013, 04:09 PM
i dunno. I never installed them. LOL

(S.M.R) 101
01-03-2013, 04:26 PM
Sick! JJ

It does look different with the smaller width but man it looks good!

(S.M.R) 101
01-03-2013, 04:27 PM
I have been thinking about going with the AT II for the next set of tires for the truck. Good looking tire!

0212353
01-03-2013, 04:27 PM
little peppier too. Good god, i forgot how heavy those Nittos are! Workout just lifting those! :D:D

and David - yeah, the 22s would look SICK AS FUCK!!

0212353
01-03-2013, 04:28 PM

it is man. rides like a car.. haven't felt that in a while!

myoung84
01-03-2013, 04:38 PM
Even my heavy as 2500 rides much better with the new Toyos. If I recall, my old Nittos with wheels where something like 101 lbs?

0212353
01-03-2013, 05:09 PM
thats crazy

(S.M.R) 101
01-03-2013, 06:10 PM
Yeah. I'm hoping when I get my Carli 2.0 kit the ride will be a lot better with these big ass tires on here :D

BMRbrnSNRbrd
01-03-2013, 10:19 PM
Fuck Kyle, I can't wait to install that.

JJ, I want the R/T 22s SO BAD.

0212353
01-03-2013, 10:20 PM
those 22s are freakin' awesome too!

(S.M.R) 101
