Default new rims pics (56k go wax your car)

well, after digging and searching on here since november, I finally made a decsion on a set of wheels. It was a long road, many of your guys sent me pics and give me tons of info.

like dave burrel

thats for the pics and all the question you guys answered there were more, but these were the only pm's I had left.

anyway, ups man dropped off 4 white boxes today, and I am happy to say after a trip to ntb to mount up the tires and back home to install them, I am super pleased with the desicion I made. running a 295/35/18 out back, bfg drag (555r backorder) and they are paired nicely up front with a 275/35/18 new tread bfg kdws.

what are they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you ask, well, I believe I am the first in posession of the new ruff racing 280's. Barely got a set since they are in limited supply, so I guess I can enjoy being the only one for a little.

it was raining, so these are the best pics I have right now. hopefully I can get it out and see what thosse new drag radials can do under no2's pressure

LOVING THE NEW STANCE, ENJOY

ruff 280 pics

comments well come.

Those rims are badass. I love rims that are chrome, 5 spoke, and deep dish. Perfect.

Nice, What width of your rims did you get? 8.5 and 9.5?

I'm still waiting for my Ruff Racing Chrome 278's. I ordered them March 17th!!! They are finally on the boat and I was told they'd be here in like 2-3 weeks. Yea, I'm pissed, but it will look sooooo good!

Any fitment issues?
Any hubcentric rings?
Can you pm me with a price and where you got them from
