Default New wheels on ...PICS
OK, I have had these for 2 months, but yesterday I painted my L88 grafted hood, and momma said I could put my wheels on. The hood should be ready to go on in a couple of days with more pics, I love the look of these, they are TT 2.1 polished in 17X8 with Nitto NT255 tires in 255/50-17, and they handle great!!

Looks great!!! Did you have to sell the hood for the new wheel/tire package (couldn't resist, sorry... know you just painted your hood which looks great as well)???

HAHA, I bought the wheels and tires while working on the hood, she said if I put them on I would be driving around without a hood, and she was right, the first thing I did was go hang a corner on them and let me tell you tires improve so much in handling it feels like a whole different car! And thanks on the hood, here is the latest pic.
