Sweet Dude!

might be a little longer. i'm also having the door arm rests rewraped in new black vinyl. and while i'm at it, i'm gonna use some more of the SEM paint. but i'll be updating slowly. i kinda want all the interior finished before she goes into storage for winter.

They're not wide enough. Minimum rims should be 8" wide. You will have problems. Search is your friend.

thanks. not sure, haven't gotten it yet. but, i've priced them in the past, and the wheel will run me around 100, and the air bag i've seen go for another couple hundred. so, if i can get everything for between 300-400, i'd be happy.
