Default got my new rims...

Well I took some preliminary pics last night and couldn't get any good light, not to mention my batteries are almost toast. So these will have to do until this weekend when I can take some nice pics that aren't blurry or have bad lighting, etc. Anyway, for those of you who wanted to see them...

old rims...

Sorry about the quality of the pics. I will get some nice ones for sure as these don't really do the rims any justice.
