New wheels finally arrived!

I have waited 2.5 long months with my ride on jackstands waiting for nothing but my new wheels, here they are!!

The car feels completely different. These PS2 tires absolutely are the worst tire in the world for straitline traction though, other then that, I love them!

Thanks!!

Actually, that was rubber from my buddies 67 Chevelle. I try as hard as I can not to smoke off my $1000 rear tires. Boy are these PS2 tires bad for traction, I still cannot believe it.

Nice Chevelle

I had PS305's on my vette and they sucked big time for straight line traction. I now have BFG 295 KDW's and they hook awesome.
