    I don't think they look "bad". The ones I've seen just looked funny to me. Could have been the wheel brand. The wheels in the pics don't look bad, in any way. The do seem a bit deeper than mine, by they are a different wheel. The Centerline Extreme Duty wheels (what's on mine) have a significantly thicker disc, at over an inch, compared to the OEM PYO wheels and aftermarkets, which are 1/2" - 5/8". They should have a MFG stamp on the inside, showing the actual size and backspace, or at least a product number you can look up. It probably doesn't matter, as long as you like the look, the backspacing is right, and the tires wear well.

    Yeah, that's the problem...

    I snapped the pic back this summer....haven't seen the truck since.

    Maybe he'll come back in again.

    After looking at it again, I'm not convinced the wheels in your pics are 10". They look deeper, but the sidewalls appear like mine. Very different from the 10" wheels I've seen in person (the pics could appear different). Could be the backspace is less on those wheels, in addition to a thinner disc, creating an illusion of wider wheels. I dunno. The bottom line is it only matters to you. If you like them and they work, there's really nothing else to consider.
