Cool-e-O Mista! Make sure you post up pictures when you get them installed!

I'm in San Antonio and looking for a couple of stock silver steel wheels. And a tire if it is relatively new. I want to do a six way rotation with the stock tires.

Allright I just got everything installed! I had them install chrome lugs too. The sensors were installed too. Only thing I don't like is the valve stems. For
Our type of sensors we can't replace the stem so we have to use the ugly aluminum one. I wanted chrome to match. Same thing with the valve covers, they have to be plastic. I'll post pics when I get home 2nite.

That looks great!

For me, in the land of salt and snow, I would need to be a little more particular about back spacing. If mine stuck out beyond the mud flap,..........let's just say it would be bad in winter.

thanks for the compliments everyone! they dont stick out as much as i thought they would, i like the way they look though, it gives it a meaner look . it might get a little messy when i drive thru puddles. the new tires give it a much smoother ride but there is more noise on the freeway. the tread is nice, they had bfgoodrich for about 180 each but i didnt wanna spend so much, the yoks are cool though........discount tire co. was cool, they even installed rubber valve stems on the steelies and aired them back up for me.
