Hey Bobby,

Notice the wheels?

About two minutes before she rolled through they opened the tonneau and the like new set of factory rims and tires are in the bed.

The orange will be behind it not on it. A black truck would have been the only other option. Actually may have been more befitting becasue of the name.

I have not personally seen the truck yet but I am sure they are either 22.5 inch or larger tractor trialer tires and rims.

Will post some better photos when I see it next week.

They are tractor trailer rims shaved down 1/4" and those are car/suv tires that don't fare very well for anything other than riding around empty. I have a set of adapters and big rig wheels on mine with 16 ply michelin tires on them. If you are towing, this would be a serious safety concern.....and since they have been shaved 1/4", you can't put big rubber back on them. Not trying to bash it.....it looks cool as chit.....just FYI if you are new to the big rig wheel game.

I am new to the big rig game and have not even seen the truck yet. Your adivse is greatly appreciated. Luckily enough if it is an issue the original tires and rims also came wih the truck.
