Jang, I agree, either of the Konig's should look good, but I'm biased in favor of Konig since I own Countersteer X. The Konigs have much cleaner lines than the UGs.

I say go for the gauntlets! Cause I've been eyeing the six shooters haha Those or the Method 301s

But in all seriousness, I believe the Konigs would keep your rig looking classy.

I don't like flashy or busy wheels, so I just want something to compliment the overall look of the truck and work together with everything else to be pleasing to the eye.

I think the smooth spokes of the six shooter or Countersteer Type X will work well with the Bud Built sliders and Gobi Stealth. Thoughts?

I think the angular lines of the Gauntlets matches well with the more defined, angled lines of our runners. The drawback about these wheels is they are very heavy compared to the Konigs. I really like the Six Shooters over the Countersteer X. Either way, your selected wheel choice is tasteful and will compliment the aesthetics of your truck very well. Not many here have the Shooters, I would go for those!

Thanks for all the input guys. I think I am going to wait a few days to see what the Six Shooters look like on adio3x's truck. Based off that I will decide. But right now I'm leaning toward the Six's much more than the Type X. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the weight difference, and cleaner look in my opinion.

So I went rouge on everyone...

...and ended up with the Counterteer Type-X in Matte Black.

Dustin from FN wheels was awesome to work with and really
helped me out getting these wheels. They just shipped today
and should be at my door late next week!

I sent my Billet Aluminum UCA's back to ICON to rebuild them
just to make sure everything was ok with them. They are replacing
the uni-balls (from the old stainless + chrome to the newer solid
stainless uni-balls), the posts to make sure my threads are good,
and also any of the hardware that was rusted at all. So they should
look pretty much like new I hope. Brad over at Icon has been really
helpful as well.

I'm headed to Duc's shop on the 8th-9th with a truck loaded down
with suspension parts and wheels! I'm starting to get excited!

Last thing I have to get is my Duratracs, 285x70x17's. Anyone know if there
are any deals out there on them? I haven't been able to find anything so far.

I posted this a few times already but don't overlook your local Goodyear store. Mine matched the best online price (Tire Rack at the time), added insurance, lifetime balancing (really needed with this tire), 6 month no interest and a $ 160 Visa gift card. It seems GY offers rebates on different tires every few months so keep checking their site.

Check out Discount Tire Direct, they had the lowest prices on my tires and I got my local shop to beat their price!

Awesome! Can't wait to get down there next week! I am actually planning on staying the night. I'm going to take my bike, and a tent in a backpack and head down to the battlefield (Manassas) for the day. Then I can see the sites, camp and head back up in the morning. Should be a nice two days.

I didn't plan for it, but it looks like it's going to work out that way! It just so happened that this Monday and Tuesday are my only two days free until Thanksgiving! So, excluding any unseen problems, it should all be on by the meet!
