Wheels and tires are in (18x9" Titanium Method Vex wheels and 37x13.50x18 Toyo RT's), they will be going on Friday morning! I was nervous about the Method Vex wheels in general because I had never seen them in person and I wasn't sure that the Titanium color would work well with the similarly colored Power Wagon badges, but in the end I think it works. Looking forward to getting them on!

Wheels and tires went on last Friday afternoon and then I parked it and left town for the weekend. Unfortunately Discount Tire dropped the ball and ordered chrome lug nuts and they proceeded to gouge a couple of the wheels upon mounting them. I am currently waiting on the replacement wheels and lug nuts. I am happy to report that there wasn't any rubbing on flat ground, but I did do a little trimming to keep the tires out of the back fender liner while under compression. Pretty sure I will be removing the center caps and painting the hubs as well, I am not really feeling the large center caps.
I'll post up detailed pics once the wheel/lug issues have been rectified, but for now here's a little teaser.

Looks real good! I’m with you on the lugs and center caps.

All shined up and ready for the B-day weekend. I asked the little lady what she got me and she rolled her eyes and looked at the wheels and tires on the Power Wagon lol. Funny, I thought that was my money!? I've gotta get on ordering the sliders soon, it's most certainly not the easiest truck to get into at the moment and the lady friend constantly reminds me of this.

Looks great both ways. I have to admit I kind of liked the chrome lugs at a distance with the fake beade lock ring bolts. I do like it with the center caps better for sure.
