Buying tires for just 18s in the back sucks in terms of price.. I couldnt do that all around lol. And yeah, I'll probably be going 35% all around this summer.

I was looking for 305s or 315s for it because its a 10.5 rim, but I found a great deal on the 285s and needed tires ASAP. Its pretty much the smallest tire you can throw on that rim lol

Your old work by my buddy Dan lol. He pretty much had open availability, so I just had him do it.

And that futon kicks *** lol. Have you done anything with my old C6 rims yet?

nah, just sitting in the garage. I still need to get tires. I think Im going to paint the entire wheels like a gunmetal color or silver if the black paint is a bitch to strip off.

Got a computer desk too if your interested...
