return of an old look

New rims finally showed up at 8 and put them on. Feels wierd not being on big/littles. Anyway its a return of the black zr1s but this time 17x9s up front and 17x11's out back with some 315's. I need to get some drag radials eventually i have being able to punch it and spin.

test out the flashes real quick...first attempt with strobes

^ so i assume you got sumitommo tires? That cant help your traction problems, i have read that some guys with a 245 street tire get better traction then with their 315 sumi's.

^ i had the exact same dent on my old car, except closer to the gas cap. I have no idea how it happened either. I was thinking a lifted truck bumper scraped along but i dont know.
