NipRing Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I like the Iroc style rims that my truck has. So much that I bought another set in black for winter. I'm going from 275/30/24 (24"x10") Fullway summer tires (generic china tire but its actually pretty decent) to 305/40/22 (22"x9.5")Cooper Zeon LTZs (A/T type). They measure approx. 1 more inch in diameter (coming in at 31.5" tall compared to the summer combo at 30.5"). I also weighed them out of curiosity. Summer wheel at 86lbs and the new winter wheel at 91lbs. Thought they were gonna be heavier honestly. And yes i know, skinnier is better in winter. But I decided on having two sets of wheels, so I wasnt gonna bother with all-seasons on the "winter"set. And I wanted low profile, period. But these Zeon tires were about $240 each (shipped). Continental makes a winter tire at 275/40/22 at $403 each , the Nitto Grapplers (A/T type) 305/40/22 at about $300 each, and I did consider the Falken Ziex S/TZ-04 265/40/221 as i heard even though an all-season they were quite good in the snow and cheaper at about $200 each. But i just couldnt stop liking the look of these Zeon LTZs. Before After Oh, and the cost, $825 for the rims off ebay, $960 for the tires from tread depot.com, $36 for a set of 24 black lug nuts (ebay), $12 for a set of locking lugs (ebay), center cap stickers $12 (ebay), mount and balance was $120 at Tires Plus. Total $1965 Edited November 22, 2013 by NipRing (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003_SuperSport Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I really dig your black rims and the red lip.... IMO looks way better than those 24's in chrome... (24's to big for me anyways) But it also looks like those 22's have a better recess too as the 24's look like the rim sticks out way too far... Don't get me wrong those chrome rims are a great design just need more recess for me and in 20-22's... But everyone has there own preference... But once again I love those black rims... Also that tread looks sick you could darn near off road with them and it looks good still to be a sweet street road lol... How do they grip in dry and wet payvement(better or worse than the street tires?)

ss2haul Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have to agree, 24's look just too big for my taste. The black rims with the aggressive tread looks killer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownguy Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Those look sick! hahaha a lil street with a lil aggressive all mixed in to one! You know your winter setup would be a complete look if you rocked some black brake ducts with those black wheels. LOOKIN GOOD!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentd Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I loved my zeon ltz's....had them on my jeep commander, made it ride a million times better than the fallen ziex tires it had on it before. They improved handling, ride, and sound. Way quieter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprayed99 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Black wheels look good... now sell those junk 24s or buy a horse and buggy and put those welfare wheels on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
