They returned them which was too bad...they looked nice on a black truck. I did not want crap slung all over the side of the truck and they suggested fender flares. I'm not sure I want the extra width...the truck is big enough.

It is just a matter of time before one of the rim manufacturers come out with rims with the stock backspacing. I had my heart set on those Teflon rims. My milage went down from 20 to 18 with the slightly larger tires.
I love my teflon wheels!
