I think I can see both sides of the tint at night thing on front windows I dont have it right now but I do a lot of trips to school and back at night since I have a Thursday night class and off Friday's and I often get annoying glares or headlights off my mirrors so I could see tint on the front windows helping there but I have been in trucks with front tint at night and it can be annoying and hard to see at times and I say go with the RT wheels I love the way they look. Speakers will definitely help you out and are always the first thing I tell people to replace.

i got 35 in the front and can see fine. i hated the headlights in my mirrors the tint really helped. the 20 in the back does make it harder to back up but were i live everything is well lite.

the wheels should look good, just dont get r/ts and put swampers on them. i've seen it.

Yep still looking for some good speakers to replaces all "6", I have the ****ty Infinity or w/e stereo which sounded good until I played my music a touch too loud and they started rattling.

Nah if I get R/T rims they will probably go with a slighter taller tire than what is OEM for them, but it will still be a street tire. I never go off road, intentionally.

And I think I may ditch the hard bed cover for a soft one, it rape my bed's usability.

Whatever you do don't get a roll n lock they are garbage my r/t came with one and when it was installed it destryed the paint on the bed rails and the darn thing leaks when it rains so there is no use in having it IMO.

thats what I was thinking about doing this week or next is 35 in the front. there is a place down the street from my house at school i'm gonna go see how much they want to do the front 2. I have stock tint on the back windows which i'm pretty sure is 20 and dont have problems with it and its a lot nicer than my jeep that had no tint, i never have to switch my rear view at night now

Look into srt rims, like the ones that came on Vipers and SRT10 rams. I think those would look awesome.

And on a side note, don't buy a ninja 250 you might as well get a scooter.

I cant believe I missed that post yes the 250s blow I think my atv has more power lol. A good bike to get that is good for a beginer is a honda cbr 600. Its on the lighter side is a reliable bike and handles well.

Still going to get a 250 first, but thanks.


Did the SRT10 Ram have 6 lug? I thought it was just 5.

Honestly don't waste your time with a 250. You will be bored after a day. Seriously dude. My sister could ride one to its full potential. Start with a jap 600 or a triumph street trip 675. Really fun bike that handles well and easy to learn on.

And SRT10 wheels came in a 6 lug on the Vipers. But be ready to drop some serious lute on them.
