Since everyone has been asking. just a little teaser. More upgrades later this weekend. Here all the new wheels. Debating on painting them black.

Cartmill, everything is forsale. I really love my TT wheels but I'd let them go for the wheels mark just bought. Lmk if your interested no real motivation to sell but you never know. And I'm local. Haha. Mark if you paint them i wont want them. Lol

They are decent.. I'm not mad at them .. Just get some spacers so it sits flush if you don't plan on swapping them out
I wouldnt mind a set of polished tt's with a beefy tire tho

I do indeed have spacers for them, at least for the rear. I think I will be ok in the front, only for sure know once installed. I am going to try and use the good tires that I already have. I never know I might trade these for a nice set for TT. I know where there is a set, but not chrome or polished.

Worst case it will look like Skirts car, found here..

I am also in agreeance with everyone. I dont think I will paint them either.

What kind of lugnut sis everyone using these days? I found some called Gorilla on Amazon, black ones, shipped for like 37 bucks with only one key. I dont want to use my chrome ones anymore due to the chrome coming off and now see rust on a few of them. I like the idea of some new black ones. Any better deals or brand out there?
