Default my new wheels

I got rid of my 22's for something smaller and different.
I decided to shoot for the police interceptor look as i haven't seen it yet
and thought it would be cool. I had Larry from LPG in Houston paint them,they look great

.

I will be adding 275/55/17's shortly along with the mentioned 2/4 drop for another thread.

Comments welcome.

P.S. Yes the skinny tires suck right now and they need some tire shine lol

Looks identical to what I run when at the track. Picked them up for $45 bucks a pop and threw some color so my brother or wife can pick me out of the crowd for pics LOL




If you like the black rims rock them

What happened to the one that was missing half??

The 22's were just too heavy. You can almost feel them wearing down your breaks lol. These are super light compaired to the 22's and i know everyone has different tastes, but i really like them. I'll post up some pictures in a month or two when i put better tires and a 2/4 on them.

I don't love them, but don't hate them either. I think tire shine would help dress them up. The truck has an understated look with these and think the Denali grill doesn't fit the profile. Have you considered getting the grill (insert piece, not full surround) painted black and/or swapping out the mirror caps to painted black?

i got ya, but still.. heavy or not.. they look so much better.. yea some fat tires with a lower side profile would look better imo... and the 2/4 drop... maybe even better. good luck

Now get rid of all that goofy chrome and it might look ok.
