Default finally ordered tires (summer)

What's up guys? So, over a year later I have finally ordered a set of 20" tires for my '04 flower petals I picked up last year. Went with Nitto 420S in 265/50/20. Full aware I could have gotten 285's with my leveling kit but I wanted more of a street/sporty look for the warm months here in New England. I was checking the wheels one last time for damage prior to my order and noticed how good one of those wheels that I polished last year looked. Mine are not the chrome clad plastic cover version..they are polished aluminum. I am going to grab some oven cleaner and wheel clear coat and give the polished look a go with my silver truck. Don't like it..plastidip it is! Spring break starts tomorrow so sometime next week I should have updates as long as the tires come in.

Old mock picture from last spring when I did my brakes..notice my old Firestones still mounted on the 16's! Love my Cooper AT3's in the snow btw. Awsome tires..

BUMP! No one saw this? Polished and clear coated one of the wheels fully and it looks awsome. I can't wait to get them mounted

The flower petal wheels look awesome when shined up, hopefully the weather will cooperate and we'll see those 420s on soon.
