Default Put the Dubs on!!!

CCW's that is Just came in today 17x9.5 and 17x11. I bought them used and they have some pretty bald tires on them. I'm gonna switch the fronts with the ones off my ZR1's and I'm gonna sport the rears for a little bit because they are 335's.

I'll get some better pics when I wash the car. We have pollen falling from our trees by the tons so I don't even want to bother washing the car right now.

They are 335 Kumhos. They won't be on the car long cause they are pretty worn out and this is the daily driver. I did have to BFH the inner fender well a bit but it was not bad at all. I got the wheels and tires for $1400 off of Ebay. They are in very good condition but they just needed a good cleaning.

I'm gonna be keeping the ZR1's for now but I may sell them later. The car is a Formula with T/A parts on it except for the front bumper of course.

I'm gonna keep them polished for a little bit but I am trying to decide if I should powdercoat the centers black.

Those look very classy on your white car.

It's a whole new car, 10 fold better than the black rims.

Thanks man. When I said dub's I was reffering to the W in CCW. It was just a lame joke on my behalf .
