Wheels
Here are the new wheels I picked up . I am still waiting on the drop parts but I washed the truck and took a couple pics . What do you think ? I wish I had went with the Goodyear tires but these look OK for now .

Re: Wheels
Man.. That ain't even right!
I'm gonna use one of those pics on my background to keep my inspiration higher... they're awesome! My wheel project is on hold until after Dec 31st due to wedding bills piling up! So, the lowrider won't get 20's until 2009. Ken

Re: Wheels
thats about the same setup i have on my truck, just mines a little lower. It will be nice to see what 17s look like with it lowered, been thinking about getting a set myself.

Re: Wheels
If you hadn't told me that they were different I sure would not have been able to tell from the pictures. It looks really good.
What size rims and tires are they?

Re: Wheels
The pics always make it look better . The paint is original and has flaws but looks good in the shadows . The tires look fine because the pics lose a little detail . I like them but I am picky in certain areas . Tires are one . The tires are 255/55/17 and 275/60/17 on 17x8 and 17x10 Coddington Smoothie 2's. Both front and rear have 4.5 inches of backspace so there are some deep lips on them .

Re: Wheels
Check out this photochop that white_paper_180 did for me . The photoshop guys on here are awesome . Probably a little lower than it will be but it does make me want to sit it down there .

Re: Wheels
Looks great Frank. I know you have researched it, but those front tires look rather tall and wide. Be careful when you drop it.
