Default Pics of my new boyds

If anyone is going thru the same decision making that drove me crazy for months trying to find a stylish wheel that doesnt look ghetto, doesnt look cheap and doesnt cost a million dollars, i couldnt be happier with the look of the Smoothie II's, a little less common then the TT2's but the same basic appeal, they are wrapped in KDW 2's 18x9 up front 18x10 in back tell me what u think

when looking around believe it or not discount tire seemed to have the lowest price if i recall, i actually got them off a guy who got them from his g/f or something she bought them but he had a narrowed rear end so the spacing was wrong, i only paid $1100 for the set, the tires i wanted were the GSD3s but no one had the sizes in stock it was backordered for months i got the fronts new from Disount tire for 209 ea i think, and the rears were take offs that were special ordered and didnt fit so they sold them to me for $200 which was a steal, rears are 285/40 btw i wanted wider but for the price whats another cm
and so for the KDW2's have really impressed me, wet traction is great at speed and cornering, but like ANY street tire and a M6 dont expect to much lateral traction from a stop in the rain, great tires though and look nice hope the info helps you out
