I edited out all my personal thank yous so I could clean up the thread. Thank you guys for the comments! I appreciate it!

I need tires and hub rings, then we will be in business baby!!!!!!! It is supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow, so I may hold off a bit on throwing them on the car.

Lugs are in:

These actually match up perfectly. It just looks lighter because of the flash.

No problem Neil. I am going to take my car to the Mt. Prospect Discount Tire to get them mounted. I already ordered the hub rings from them.

What do you guys think? Should I wait a couple more weeks before throwing them on? This is a picture from today

If I were you, I'd wait until the weather clears up. You definitely don't want to risk damaging such a nice set of rims.

Random thought: The GFX front lip would make a nice snow plow.

Tire came in today! All I have to do is get the TPMS sensors anodized. Looks like it is going to snow again this weekend. I will probably wait a couple more weeks before mounting. Sorry guys
