Default Got Some New Wheels on the Turbo Truck

I've been wanting to upgrade to 18s for a while. Picked up these babies for a really good price and couldn't be happier! They're off a Titan. They have 275/65/18 Cooper Discoverer S/T tires with almost full tread. We will see how I like them, but I think they look awesome! I just need to come up with something for a center cap cover.

I'm not sure I'll want to take these tires down the track next year but they should be decent in the snow.

Just some more boost next year and tuning her on the dyno. Another 4 psi and a better tune ought to get her easily in the 10s.

How about you? And how is the BABY?!

Yes! I've been in love with them since I was a little kid. I currently have a Mini Voodoo and a Viking. The Viking is getting a compete restoration when I am finished with school. :-)

LOL, thought so. Yeh they are neat boats. I had a 10' GW invader when I was younger with a 50hp rude on it, it was a fast little bitch.

Looks good! Glad to see you are enjoying my old truck! I kinda miss it sometimes... But, with a second kid, I need the extra cab!
