I put some new wheels on to get to the grocery store a little quicker. These are just an appearance mod!

They are 27" X 11.5" QTP's. So yes they are still DOT legal. I did that for a reason. We have a lot of DOT events at our track. Otherwise I was going to get some straight slicks! Maybe I will do that next season...
