Damn tbomb, those are some UGLY ass wheels!!

Just kidding, they actually look pretty f'ing cool. Why do you have to wait until T-day to put 'em on? I only have to wait 'til Monday for my Cobras and I won't be able to sleep all weekend!!

My new tunes are being installed in the X as I type!!
 






nice me like!
 






Very Hot! I got to get me some Rims!!!

Whered you get yours? online or retail store?
 






yeti, "Damn tbomb, those are some UGLY ass wheels!!"...thats a low blow man, heh :) j/k i have to wait till thanksgiving cuz im at school and i wont be going home till then; my wheel guy is at home.

chuckyd, i went to my local wheel shop and told the guy what i want, and what truck i have, and he gave me a bunch of options...in then end, i didnt like any of the options, but i did like some stuff enkei made that ive seen on other X's, so i checked out their website, saw these, called my wheel guy, and in the end, theyre a perfect fit and theyre not expensive either :) its pretty convenient too that i already have the tires, from a horrible failure of a wheel project this past summer, heh.
 






nice rims.

i guess you wont be running spacers ;)

thanks lee. nope, NO spacers this time :)
 












those will look good. I saw some wheels like that on ebay for like $200. but they were 16's. he had a hard time selling them kept reposting the ad. I tried but he had a reserve. Hopefully I get to see a pic maybe I'll buy them
 






Those are gonna look badass! :)
 






I like them. Do you plan on lowering it a little too? Maybe an inch or so?
 






Those rims are hot!! Can't wait to see some pics.

with the 285 60 r17's, i wont be able to lower it (i really dont want to lower it either...at least for now.) if you click the link in my sig, you can see pics of my truck with the tires on it, but i had cobra r's in the pics, but you get an idea of how the tires will look, and you can see that i dont really have room to lower.
 






let the countdown begin! by tomorrow at noon the rims and tires should be on my truck - hopefully pics by dinner time (EST.) :) im not gonna be able to sleep tonite.
 






You better post ASAP beeotch!!!

heh, will do :)
 






I like em! I've been trying to pick out some wheels for my Audi but it's not easy.
 






guys, theyre on! they look absolutely amazing, but i wont be able to post pics until tomorrow sometime. i was gonna do it tonite, but i think its manadatory in this country to drink the night before thanksgiving.
 






I was looking at that brand but i'm pretty sure the ones I liked had only 5 spokes (whatever the hell they are). Geezzz don't you hate those days you can't find the best words to use???
