Yeah I would not want to be driving on directional tread in snow and ice.

When I am up for new tires on the stockers I think I am going to go with Hankooks winter tire. I really like their Ventus RH06 that I have on my SS wheels. That tread is directional as well.
Ive always loved the dueler ats ive had alot of experience with these from running through a muddy pig farm to climbing snow drifts in the blue tb never been stuck with those[emoji106]

Yeah good point. I have about $2400 in mine between the wheels, restoration, and new tires. I am sure I could have gotten brand new wheels and tires for that price, but that was not in the budget at the time. I was able to save for each.

Actually its funny you say that cause I believe the new ones are around $2600 for loaded 22s

$2600 for 22" wheels, tires, TPMS sensors, and lug nuts?

I forgot about the lugs. I have another $100 in Gorilla lifetime lugs and locking lugs.

That also includes the Dorman lugs that I bought initially and rusted :no:

Thats ok. $2300 is not bad for wheels, tires, and TPMS sensors.

When it comes time for lugs, I highly recommend Gorilla lifetime lugs, I believe thwy comw in gloss black too. They are $12 for a pack of (4), but a heat treated and nickel plated. Guaranteed for life not to rust or chip. I think I got one pack of (4) Gorilla locking lugs for $20 or so. They still look as good as the day I put them on.

The Dorman lugs rusted in only a couple weeks.

I figured I spent this much on wheels and tires, might as well spend the money on some nice lugs.

Still have not found a valve stem cap that I really like. Right now I have chrome caps and the tops are black with a yellow bowtie in the center.
