Ehh, that's not THAT bad.

,maybe after i go fi and the last thing i have to buy is some nice wheels then ill drop the cash but im fine for now rims look great
Yea I feel the same way. After looking at rims for a while, the 18x9.5 machined finish is really growing on me.

Damn that's a steal. Yeah I just found the BFG KDW's at 227 a piece. That's really not bad at all. That's good news! Preciate it
