Default Decided on the new rims...

I found some rims to go with. It's still winter so these will have to wait until summer. Anyway, I'm going with Intro Evolutions, 18" x 9" up front, and 18" x 11" out back. Here's what they look like:



So, the RacingHart M5 3-piece rims will be coming off this summer and will be sold.

These rims pictured are very sweet.

Good Choice! I never really liked the RacingHarts with the satin center section. They were always lacking something IMO. You can never go wrong with the full polished option.

I'm quite happy with the quality and finish of my 3pc iForged wheels..........................except for the long wait to get them.

Those wheels look badass. They'll compliment your NBM paint and silver accents very well.

I could trade them for a full set of Draglites front and rears with some cash from the prospective trader . I'm thinking about doing that route.

I knew you were going to to go with iForged wheels Levi........... Dave or Diesel as he post by has those wheels on his Black SS. We ordered our wheels at the same time and they took 16 weeks to get to me.......... I got a wicked deal though.... Time for another set for me. I am wanting to run a 17X9 and a 17X11 out back this time. Who ever asked if they were heavy....... yeah really heavy......
