Default got my slicks on!

After tons of grinding on the calipers, I got the 15x10 Prostars to fit! I'm running the MT ET Streets 28 x 11.5 x 15. It got washed and detailed and then I took a few pics before all the light was gone. What do you think? Oh, and it has 154,000 miles on it too!

I live in Brentwood. But I'm actually in San Jose a lot. Ever heard of West Coast GM Performance? We meet in SJ, 1st sat of each month. You should come check it out, we're all really laid back and very welcoming. www.wcgmp.com

I'd love to get some runs in some time.
