Man ridgelineswift!
Those new shoes look awesome! Did you get the back part of the wheels machined to fit the hubs on your truck? If you didn't then you need to go back to where you bought the wheel & tire combination and ask them for "hub centric rings" These rings take up any slack between the outside diameter of the hubs and the hole in the backside of your wheels. That way they will roll totally concentric and there will be no wobble or vibration of any kind! Even a little vibration is unacceptable because eventually it will prematurely erode and wear out the suspension components.

Ya gotta bring this truck to the next SoCal meet & greets! It ROC’s

You'll have to ask your dealer cause I had them machine the backside of my 20" wheels to custom fit my hubs before installation. I've seen these rings made from plastic as well as metal. I would prefer the metal one's but that's just cause I'm a "metal-head":D

Man! Black on Black is soooo sexy! "mine looks fully conservative next to yours!"

Hey Ridgelineswift,

Go to the Meet and Greet section and look for the SoCal ROC Meet III Thread for all the info you need. Cast your vote and know that the second place winners in location and date will be automatically Meet IV. Hope to see you at both meets. I'll be at both as well! :)

Black on black is the sweetest look ever. I got 20's so I would't have to worry about the potholes and hub centric issues - the ASA AR1's are a perfect fit on the RL - oh, and they look dang good, too!

Yep (and thanks)! People have been staring and stopping me to tell me how much they like how it looks. I'm so glad I finally did it. The ride is no worse either - which as you know, I was concerned about. It handles much better and because the tires are 50's instead of 40's or 45's, it is still smooth and quiet.
