Default That Man

Well here we go again. The tow vehicle just didn't look good enough I guess. Mark had to go get new wheels and tires on the Avalanche. What I could have done with that money .................................................. like get new wheels and tires on my car!

What can I say, I'm an addict....I mean it's DARK out, and I was watching the game (got it home with the new shoes @ 6:15) so I'll post pics tomorrow. I bought some 20x8.5 American Racing MT100s in chrome with some Toyo Open Country A/T 305/50R 20s. Looks good, handles good, should go in the snow now (wasn't impressed with the tires it had) and these should tow better too.

And I offered SEVERAL times dear, you said no....and it looks like more snow is coming.

I think they look pretty nice! But seeing them on the vehicle will be the final verdict.

Since these are shiny, I'm guessing they'll be washed more than the Dodges wheels were???
