Summit Wheels installed

These are the cheapo summit wheels 15x4/15x8's. Front tires are 165/80r15 Nexens and just ignore the rear I have m/t et's 275/50r15 backordered until dec 21 so i just stuck some BFG's i had laying around the shop on. (295/50-15-too much side wall bulge but it will give me something to burn up until my tires get here) The front wheels went on with very little grinding on the corners. I have drilled/slotted rotors that are a lil thicker than stock and the rears went right on b/c i had already ground them for welds when i borrowed my friends. The back look like they would not have needed too much but i have plenty of clearence now!

I'll post some new pics when the weathers nice and my car is cleaned up.

Probably about like this...

I haven't gotten them coated yet but I'm dying to! Every car I see with them I photochop to make sure I want to spend the cash on it because they already look really good outta the box.

I'm going with the MT 1573 sportsman frontrunners and 275/60/15 hoosier drag radials for the rear.

i think the welds are worth the extra money as far as looks are concerned.
the photoshop pic of the black doesnt do justice on your color car.
id leave them polished, IMO.

What kind of lugs are you running? It looks like they are almost flush with the face of the wheels.

Ive been wanting to see those wheels with a weld centercap. Someone needs to do it, and by the way it looks good! 295s are nothing, I have 325s on a 8.5 inch rim
