New Tires and Wheels on My Limited

[Delirious]

I decided to get rid of those horrible General Grabber HTS tires that that came with my truck. I couldn't make a right hand turn without them spinning. Probably was just a rear right tire spinning but regardless, it spun.
They are just the most horrible tires on wet roads I've ever driven with. I really don't understand how they have a decent rating.
And of course those stupid plastic chrome fake cheap looking pieces of crap they call wheels was just asinine to put on that truck.
$56,000 for a loaded Limited truck and they put crappy little cheap junkyard wheels on it. FFS Toyota! What the hell is the matter with you?!
Then they put those stupid highway tires on them. I couldn't even drive on the grass with because they just spun like crap.
Thanks for the vent. I'm done.
So $2800 later, I put the Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT 265/65/18 (OEM Size) on a new set of rims (9" vs 7.5" OEM) from Discount Tire.

$80 instant off on the tires, $80 off the rims and there's another $40 rebate on the Cooper website until February 28.
These were about the highest rated tires on Tire Rack. I'm all about wet traction and braking when it comes to tires, followed equally by noise and comfort.

I really need honest opinions on how these look because they'll let me trade them up for something else if I decide I don't like them. I was going for the all black look but I decided on this look.
I could use some tips on blacking out the rest of the chrome such as where can I purchase pre-cut overlays or do I need to disassemble things and paint them or plastidip them.
(Also, is there a way we can post pictures to our profile? I don't see how. I was able to do this on the Ranger 4G but don't know how here.)

I decided I didn't want the black on black from rim to tire to truck. He's actually look pretty good with the black painted whatchamacallitss and the machined Face of the rims and a black thought thingamajigs on the outer circumference.

Not criticizing you OP, but why do people buy Limited's and then black everything out. That's what a Limited is, chrome. There was another thread about a Limited owner and all the things he was doing to get rid of the chrome. I'm not into the chrome look, that's why I didn't buy a Limited.

I’ve been using the Cooper tires in my ‘06 for about a year now, and I love them. They do well in all but the iciest of conditions here in Canada, but I’m okay with that. I have an open diff on my ‘06 SR, and I really don’t have problems getting going unless I hammer the loud pedal, then I get some spin.

I think you’ll love the Coopers’ too. And your rim choice looks great too.
