Got my wheels put on, Torq Thrusts

I had a free day from school the other day and ran home and threw on my wheels. Not the greatest pics but you get the idea.
Ive also decided that air ride will be installed in the future. Need to take out another tuition loan though
Wheels are 17x8 and 17x9.5 TTIIs, with 4" and 4.5" backspacing.
Tires are Nitto NT 450s, 255/50s and 275/50s.

Before


After
