I love that 'raised white letter' look on your tires, with those wheels.
Awesome!

Couple months past my 8th year. Congrats on the Anniversary. They go by quick so enjoy it as much as you can. Love the white letters. I just purchased some Nitto's for my truck. Would you be willing to share where you bought them from so I can get some for it? PM me the info if you don't mind. I think I read a post about you installing them but can't remember off hand.
