Default Got my new wheels

.. and I love 'em (and I need flares too.. huge flares). Only have pics of the fronts but the rears are 2" wider even.







sorry for poor pic quality, I only had this little crappy camera here.

Thanks for the compliments guys :)


what size tires?
275 or 295 on the front (depends on rim size, I may turn the fronts back to 10" width, I have seperate rim halves for that) and something much wider on the rear (still debating on those, probably something near the 400 range)
