Default picked up some new wheels :)

Finally got them on over the weekend. needed 2 new front tires. upgraded to a pair of Nitto 555s 275/40/17. When the rears need replaced, Ill go with a 305/35/18 or 315/35/18


Before and after


















Just need it lowered now.

Trying to keep an eye out for a low mile ls1 or lq9 to go in and put all the parts on before i head up to get it all tuned.

The wheels look good and you must have read my mind... I was thinkin' it would sure look really good if it was lowered a bit.

Cheers,
Aaron

Hey now, there's no need to be stealing around here. Just buy your husband his own set.

I picked up a set this last summer and put around 800mi on them. Going to be selling the car, therefore no longer need them. They are mounted on Falken Azenis RT 615 255/40-18 front 295/40-18 rear.
