I'm so dam happy when I showed my dad he said what are you just going to work like a jackass the rest of your life and I said if that's what it take I gess I'm a jackass and will keep on working like a jackass if I have to. I can't wait to get them pics soon to follow. I'm so glad I got them.

Congrats on the wheels and tires.

Without knowing your situation, I'd venture to say your dad is right though, I recieved much the same advice when I was 19-20ish from my father. It just took me another 5 years to realize the value of it.

Ok, I'm done with the "creepy guy I don't know advice post."

Post pics when you get em!

I got a buddy with those, they seem like a decent wheel.

Make sure you retorque them after the first 50-100 miles or so since they are aluminum.

yeh i figured thats the ones you got. man that is a good deal. over 300$ cheaper than what i got mine for. great choice.mine are 17x9's. and definitly make sure you retighten those lugs. i did, but none of mine were loose, but you never know.

i used short black valve stems,since the stems mount in the black area's. you cannt even hardly tell they are even there. i also got mine static balanced,just weights on the inside lip. they wanted to use stick on weights but i have seen to many of them come off. plus you would be able to see them through the gaps in the wheels. please donnt let them balance them regular. you will damage the outside of your rims. i mean that is the best way for the best balance of the tires. but who wants ugly weights on the outside of there sweet rims......just suggestions.
