Default Fedex stopped by.. *Updated*

And dropped off my new TT2's took a LOT less time to get here than I thought it wood (ordered last tuesday) but can't wait to get them on the Formula and see how she looks! Got them staggered (17 9.5 / 17 11) going out to Discount Tire tomorrow to get them wrapped in some Nitto NT 555 EP's if everything goes right.

Heres a few teasers (camera phone, sry)







Nitto's are mounted (teaser pic)!

A non-sponsor I hooked him up with the link for, I ordered my 17x11 torq thrusts with 5.5 backspacing from the same place. They are the cheapest I've seen.

Shop around for tires if you havent bought them already. I have done tons of shopping and found that dscounttiredirect.com has the absolute lowest shipped prices. They have literally saved me over $100 in one set of tires compared to what I would pay some other places.
