Default new wheels&tires&height

Hey everyone.
I usually don't put a lot of effort into aesthetic stuff.
But, I accidentally made some drastic (not really) changes.


I spent many hours cleaning and polishing these.
they were the dirtiest wheels ever.
they still need a lot of work, but they look good from 10 feet.

I had to drop it 2" to get it to look decent with the 285/55/18s.

So what do you guys think? Compared to the old sig pic?

they look pretty good, can't really see the wheels in the sig pic but I know what you have to go thru to polish aluminum.

Oh yeah, details
they are Boyd Coddington Genesis 6
18x8s
My sig pic just has the stock 17s

These are 6# lighter too.

I liked the stockers. they just had a terrible offset with my fender flares.

these fit pretty nicely.

Truck looks awesome now. I love those Boyd wheels. I know what you mean about the stock wheel offset and fender flares. I always cringe at the sight of a truck with stock wheels and fender flares.
