new wheels!
I scored these wheels about a week ago on CL and had them powdercoated, the tires are General Grabber's, looks like I need a lowering kit now though

Re: new wheels!
You are definitely right about the snowball effect! Now I need a lowering kit cause these wheels are 3 more inches of overall height which shows off the space between a little more. And the fact that I have new tires and I should get the front end tightened up and realigned. I also noticed my rear track bar has a little slack in it. Then I though since I am doing that I should put new truck arm bushings in. The list goes on, hopefully the wife doesnt read this!
