Default New Rebels w/ pics!

Muahaah! They fit FINE! The front's stick out a smidge, but it isn't as bad as it looks in the picture. This is the best pic I can get until tomarro. All I had to do was roll the rear fender to keep it from posibbly cutting the tire. (it's close w/ the drop) and I had to pull the iner fenderwell protecive piece away from the tire. I used wire tie. -The thick stuff. And I also had to pound in teh edge of the battery box. Fom the inside of the fender. I just beat the hell out of it enough to get it to move.

Chrome looks great with your paint color. Good choice on chrome. I am not too fond of the wheel though. I love the lip and the fat spokes but where the spokes meet the lip is where they ruined it. If those "tabs" were not there, it would be my favorite wheels for our cars. If only I could design my own wheel....

Dont get me wrong though, they dont look bad at all, just my personal preference that gets in the way of me liking them.

No, i was getting some K&N air filter cleaner for my T/a. I was driving a blue Dakota going the opposite direction as you. I normally see you heading to base in the AM, when i'm just getting off mids on base.

If you would, please retake this pic except with the front wheels/tires straight. I love these wheels, but if they stick out any noticable amount it will eat at me. LOL!
