Well, after going to Green Ridge I decided to see if I could get a cheap set of off-road rims/tires that I can beat up without having to deal with scratched aluminum rims. I also wanted to keep my stocks for daily driving so they would have to be cheap. So after much research, pricing rims/tires, and some luck, I came across someone who was selling a set of 4 2003 Toyota Tundra steelies 16x7. They were painted black already, which saved me some time as well. Then I bought a locking gorilla lug set from Wheeler's off-road. Nice people to deal with. And then came the hard part - finding cheap tires. After looking at all the used tire places I finally came across one that had some tires with decent tread on them. Two were Cooper Discoverer STT's and the other two were BFG AT's - 265/75/R16. I was trying to get 4 mud tires but every place I went didn't have ones with decent tread left. Since they're for off-road use only I didn't really care that they were different. Once mounted everything fit in place without any caliper clearance or rubbing issues.
So the final result:
The wheels actually look shinier than what they really are. The rims are rough and flat black.
The front wheel with Cooper STT. The hub perfectly matched the color of the rims. The tire was used off-road, as you can see, from the mud stains on the sidewall. The tires and rims do not look this drastic in difference. It's due to the flash on the camera. I'll have to take some daytime shots to show how they actually look.
The rear wheel with BFG's AT's. The hub was a dull brown(probably from the dirt from GRSF) which I wiped clean and then sprayed black. I also sprayed all the balancing weights black.
