I recognize that gray 4th gen in those pics!
I'm really digging the Hummer wheels, they looked great on your truck and they look great on your daughter's truck! I don't see how y'all can tolerate those Noise Grapplers though!

X2. They are forged polished wheels, easy to clean and they don't load up with mud/snow. That's about as good as you get for a off road wheel. Keep em.
Luke Duke wrote:Did your daughter just want different wheels? Chances are whatever are going back on the truck aren't the quality of what you're pulling off. They have the integrated bead keeper, are made in the USA, and, I believe, are forged. I say all that as a argument to keep them out away in the garage or something.

I just rotated my tires today. Noticed the inside of the wheel has several things stamped into them, one being the word taiwan.

Correct, they are no longer USA made but they are forged, which is you don't find too many places.

PM me your email address I will send you a link to my photobucket and you can download them.
It looks like I will not be heading to South Carolina like I thought, and will be coming back to the Jacksonville NC area so Uharrie will absolutely be on my list of weekend adventures.

UPDATE... I dropped off the H2 Wheels at my buddies machine shop this past Saturday. Hopefully will have them back by this weekend, once that is complete I will be switching the wheels out the following weekend. Getting closer.
Now that I have had time to look at OX and what her new set of shoes looks like... I think I will be going back with a set of 35" tires, I do not like the way she looks with those small tires. reminds me of those trucks that I make fun of all the time with the bigass liftkits and smallass tires. I will not be going back to an aggressive tire simply because my last set never went off road, and I do not see myself going offroad all that much to justify the extra cost of the new tires and lower fuel mileage.
Who is running 35" BF Goodrich ATs and MTs? If you have them, what is your fuel mileage like? With the Mud Grapplers I was getting roughly 11mpg on the highway (no load) and roughly 9mpg in the city.

Danny, remember that the BFG ATs are the stock tire that caused so much grief due to the D rating and soft sidewalls. Some of the hybrid tires are pretty nice now. I, along with several others, just installed Toyo RTs. Nice road manners so far. Quieter than MTs.

Damn... I forgot, Thanks for the reminder. I am really looking to go with an AT as most of my offroading will be on the beach.

I know the typical consensus on this forum is that bfg at's (bfg in general) are junk. But i thought i would throw my not so important opinion of the tires out there. I have always had great luck with the at's, and apparently the new ones are even better. I would try the new ones out if i was looking for a new at.

Our trucks appear to be too heavy for the D rated, soft sidewall. It seems to contribute, along with everything else on the truck, to death wobble.

Dodge had the dealers replace the tires as one of the first steps to stop the death wobble. A lot of people just replaced the tires on their own with a tire they liked better.
I got the stock tires for my PW sitting in my garage. 4 with 8,000 miles, and the spare with zero miles.
