Default New wheels are on

They aren't anything real special. But the more I look at them the more they grow on me. I was originally gonna paint the spokes black, but the polished look is growing on me. They aren't as shiney as the first day I put them on, but they will be comming back off & getting a good polish job & some zoop seal.

Anyway, let me know what ya think. I think I did good for $400+shipping for both wheels & tires.

Well I won't ever lower the car. Our roads around here are too ruff & I live kinda out away from town, so I need some extra ground clearance. The car will be getting the following suspension mods soon. I have the parts, just not installed yet.

UMI poly/rod LCA's
BMR boxed SFC
UMI on car adj. panhard bar
KYB AGX adjustable shocks
