Default picked up a set of 4 steel wheels!!!

I had to post here, I was craigslist surfing last night and found a set of 4 steel 7 x 16 rims, $75.00, with pictures, I sent a text asking if they went to a D2. Said yes, might have dropped the hammer to get there. He had them on an 03. Had the center caps and nuts also, threw the guy $80.00 and they are in my garage chained to a very large dog until I install them!! Been looking for months, I now need one more, anyone???

Yes sir, I was really holding out for the 7" rims for the 235's, I have a laundry list of parts I plan on ordering from Zack, plan on heading up there to visit friends and pick it all up in June. The 18's were not very friendly this winter. After I get the undercarriage all done I will build my bumpers. Stg

I would put the simex 36x12.5r16's on my truck if I had a pair of A/T's I could use for street use. I love the look of the narrow simex tires. They have great reviews too, just a rare tire in the US.

They are real sweet, pricey but not outrageous. I will likely go with a tread Wright or another retread. Prices can't be beat. I ran a set of 285-75-16's on my F350, towed up and down the east coast and plowed with them. They were awesome. This rig will be my fishing/camping rig. My son has named it the Creeper after the video game mine craft.

I'm thinking about getting the TW 315/75r16's, I've heard a lot of good reviews about them, I'm just still skeptical, since the one guy in his Land Cruiser flipped like 4 times, it was just outside vegas too

I ran them hauling a 9000lb gama-goat on a heavy trailer from NC to VT with no issues. I don't go over 67mph with the Creeper anyways.
