Default NEW RIMS!!!

alright guys i jsut got a new set of rims..... there 16x7 drag dr 16's gunmetal w/ polished lip. i know that the car needs to be lowered i havent exactly had time to adjust the coilovers. the reason theres so muxh space is because the tires are a 40 profilewhich is alot smaller. than what was on my c 10's, ive been in texas the last 2 weeks and now im in virginia so i dont know when ill get the time to do it back in delaware. anywasy check out my gallery to see them!!!

and sorry guys already sold the c 10's to someone local

The wheels look great, but I'm curious as to why you chose 40-series tires. The correct size should be 205/45/16. You speedometer will now show a higher speed than is actually the case.

ive always heard that 40profiles are perfect size...... maybe thats just for clearnace issues when lowering....
