The outlaw's are cool, i have outlaw II's, which look pretty good too. The problem is that these rims are clear coated, instead of just being polished aluminum. They look good until the clear coating gets chipped. Then moisture works it way underneath and before long the wheels look like trash.

I appreciate the compliment DesertRat. I have worked on fixing up my truck for a while and spent alot of what I've earned on my part-time income doing it. I just have 15x8 Eagle Alloys Series 589... I got them from 4Wheel Parts Wholesalers for $90 a wheel. They did fine in the snow here, but we don't get much in NC.

It really depends in my opinion. I shopped around, but the wheels I got weren't sold anywhere around here, so I didn't have any choice. But, I couldn't complain about the price. Check out 4wheel parts, the have decent prices: www.4wheelparts.com |

I would shop around all the places that advertise in 4 wheel and offroad or some other mag. The best price may not be the best price after shipping. CALL and get quotes.
I got my wheel and tire set from national tire and wheel. 4wheel parts (who claim they price match) thought i was lying when I tried to get them to match prices (even w/ their free shipping). It all depends on where you live.
A question- Does anyone know if 589's, mickey thompson, and pro-comp are all the same rims. They sure look an awful lot alike.

One thing you should consider in deciding on 15x8 or 15x10 is if you think you're going to get bigger tires somewhere down the line. If so, your tire size is limited with 15x8, whereas with a 15x10, you can get wider tires. I don't think I will be getting any wider tires any time soon, so I am satisfied with my 15x8's. There may be more advantages for one over the other, but I don't know any others...
