Talking New wheel pics!!
finally got a a few pics of my new wheels and tires. I had the Chrome DD C5's but i had some issues with them. So i sold them and picked up the machined face in the same size. 17x9.5 I also got some Nitto 555r extreme drags in the rear 315/35/17 and just went with the nexen n3000 in the front 275/40/17.

Oh by the way my wife wanted to pose in them as well

yes they are rated a 315 but they are actually more like a 295 for some reason nitto over rated them because they run narrow. they are only an inch or so wider than my 275 nexen's. But they are still wider and stickier none the less
