Awesome looking Pro Comp chrome n black. I visually inspected all four n had them mounted with my new Falken tires. After a week someone tapped in my window n said that I had a flat tire so I aired it up n took to local co op tire shop. Found air leak around rim- No way anyone could see it so now I need all new rims because I’m concerned about the other three.. recommendations?

    Didn’t even think I could put 17” on my truck:( thought my only options were 18 n 20 (which were factory chrome upgrades on my truck but not cool at all)
    I almost got Cooper At3 but at last minute i bought the Falken! I researched n found lots of positive reviews. Was I wrong?

    Why not call Pro Comp and see what they say? Might just be a manufacturing flaw, no reason to get rid of them.

    Rock Warrior wheels are 17". Never know, Pro Comp might warranty them.

    You can get 17” wheels, but that won’t fit on a tire made for 18” wheels.

    Where the crack appears to be is not where you would expect installation or wear n tear damage. It’s in the middle on one of the spokes n it doesn’t extend to either side - almost like a manufacturing defect.

    I run 17” wheels, don’t notice any difference from previous 18” wheels. The tires cost the same or more, you can’t place wheel weights in the middle of the rim due to brake caliper clearance, and that limits balancing options. I’m over the 17” wheel thing.:D

    I like them. Aggressive but good in rain. Small amt road noise but it’s a 4wd truck so I don’t care. My Awd Acura has lots more road noise than my truck!

    Damn!!! That's a pretty good size hole.

    I would also give a shitty rating to the seller on FB. They knew about this issue.

    Ok, ok. We get a lot of rain here in the PNW so being good in the rain is a must.

    You would be amazed at how true my custom title is. Not so much on here, but on TW....good lord.

    I would give him a shit rating. He won't sell on FB anymore. Bet he changes his tune since the marketplace on FB is the new Craigslist.
