Default New wheels and drop on the turbo chevy.

Did some work this weekend with the help of some buds!! Kyl and Aaron came over and we knocked out the 4/6 drop and installed the new wheel set up. I went with 157 and 15x8 allied racing bead lock wheels. The wheels are perfect and so is the stance!! Im having problems with the 92mm throttle body so im putting my stock tb back on. Im also getting it aligned this week and then heading to the track on Friday.

It will be headed to the paint shop next week. Still torn between two colors. Red or white?? Im really leaning towards the white since it has realy grown on me and both my denali and my wifes X5 is white. Also we all know that white trucks are the fastest! ! Haha comments and suggestions please!!

I don't like red and HATE white. Silver, green, or bright blue!

The truck looks awesome, I would keep it as is try to hide the bead locks and have one hell of a sleeper.

P.S. you need some center caps.

Sorry sometimes I can be an *******. Just honest with my opinions. Since he isn't dead set on a color, I thought it possible to steer him in another direction. If it were me I would leave it as is(rough red is ok for a sleeper! hahah) 3 chrome lips and all. Paint the screws black and drive the hell out of it. The first thing that is going to happen after it rolls out of the paint shop.. a scratch or some other imperfection. That is just how I look at things. It is so hard to keep something spotless so just shoot for the 10 footer and be happy.

Center caps are one of my petpives. I relize maybe he didn't put them on since it is going to paint soon but any wheel is destroyed in my opinion without a center cap.

White just looks so clean, when it is all debaged. Plus there is already 2 other OBS red trucks running round. I opt white. My next vehicle will prob be white. Black wheels, black windows, white body = (.Y.)

White would look pretty damn nice with that stance you have going.
