Yea I would too but can't afford it at this moment

These are a great start till he can save up for some super ballin' rims with lips offset etc..
exactly what I was thinking. These look nice for now and when I can get better I wil lol

You should make threads like this after you have installed them.

Or make a build thread.

I was thinking about making a build thread but didn't think it would be interesting enough bc my mods aren't going to be coming once a month or so like some ppl on here. Unfortunately my pockets aren't that deep..... but I was honestly planning on getting tires the next day but that didn't fall thru. Now cuz I work 12 hours a day I won't be able to get the tires until Wednesday. Didn't mean to be a tease fellas lol

Default Updated Pics!!!!!

well I got it in just as it started to rain... Found these wheels about a week ago. Put them on yesterday and then oh crap.... Rubbing!!!!!!! The rear drivers side tire was getting chewed up. My guess is that when i got into my accident the shop that fixed the dent didnt pull it out far enough. The Passenger side clears just fine. So at any rate had to go out and get me a belt sander today to make clearance for the wheels... Here are a few pics showing the wheels and the tire getting chewed up.
