I’ve had my new wheels on for 24 hours now. And I have a few gripes

They were obviously not balanced correctly. The steering warbles above 40mph, not bad but enough to be annoying.

My truck pulled to the right a tiny bit before I installed the wheels, now with the bigger wheels it pulls hard right.

I got the wrong lugs and realized it too late. The seat was wrong, now the lug holes are badly scored and etched. I put on the correct lugs earlier today, but it still bugs me.

On the other hand, I parked in a visible spot at work today so after each run I could gawk at my truck. I literally cant stop staring at it

The first two sound easy enough to fix. Can we get some close ups of the wheels?

I see an alignment in your future.

Even with my typical grievances towards black wheels, these look awesome. Nice choice!

Those wheels are looking Mc’fly! (late BTTF reference... also a bad BTTF reference)

Those are some fye wheels. Love the bed topper, too; I want a bed topper for mine, but I need to take advantage of my amazing visibility.

You’re truck doesn’t have the 4-cylinder, does it? That engine and larger tires don’t get along well without a re-gear.

Alignment isn’t that expensive. Easy fixes are best fixes.

As bad as it looks, think of it on the bright side, you have a set of awesome looking winter wheels.

If it weren’t for halloween, I’d already have mine on...

Also, if you take the wheels off in the future, have them refinished. Not expensive at all. Maybe $50 ish for each wheel to get them totally revamped. Depends on the shop, some can be more, but for example, my Monoblocs on the SL will be totally re-done for less than the cost of one replacement wheel.

We’re all learning! Don’t feel bad, it’ll all be okay.
