Default NEW RIMS HERE... and looking good what you think? 56K NO NO!

well after a week from hell and frustration............ FINALY...... rocken the new wheels and tires......

NOW FIRST OFF.... sorry car is alittle dirty.... it was raining this morning and suposed to rain all day and tomorow BUT thank goodness it stoped raining when i got off work.... BUT cars still alittle dirty..... tho downfall is IM NOT GONNA WASH IT cause im driving up to michigan for this weekend and driving 5hours.... well the cars gonna be dirty before i get thier.LOL so it would be kinda a waste of time or money to wash her....

ENOUGH CHAT... i know you guys have wanted to see them
and YEP... rolling my fenders did the trick! no rubbing so far... no rubbing in front LOCK TO LOCK... and i drove on some bumpie spots in the road and no rear rubbing YET at least... cause id rather not AIM for large dips or holes with these 17s...LOL

O YA... trust me i looked at the pictures as well.LOL those eye lids look crapy to me right now...... so when i get back from michigan and my next weeked off im gonna pull the headlights... remove the eye lids... bake the headlights apart, paint them black besides the headlights chrome of course... and this time... TINT the eye lids on thier
kinda like my taillights mixed with the current eye lids... BUT with the VHT nightshades tint so its flat and smooth on the headlights! also still let some light thru them at night...
