Free. I found it in a junkgard inside on one SC





I install them today. The LED in Blue because I have the whole car with Blue LED inside and at the same time I was tired of seeing the red LED flashing. I wanted to see it all in blue.

I picked up a set of wheels on Friday, HRE 565c forged 3 piece,staggered setup, specs are 20x10+25 front and 20x11+25 rear,got an absolute steal of a deal on these too,should they fit my stock body stock suspension gs?



Tires are getting scrapped,rears were Mickey Thompson et drags and the front are some massive Mickey Thomson street comps with about 80% tread,I'll probably sell the front tires to help fund new tires

The rims sizes are OK, certainly on the aggressive offset side.

They should work with a fender shave and narrower tires (no way they will work with the bulging tires you have pictured however.

I replaced my hi and low beam bulbs after work. Next project is to restore my nasty hazy headlights.

pulled my chewed up, worn through flapping in the wind fender liners out and zip tied winsheild washer line up. Yae for no wire harness to mess with. Next is to shoot the inner fender walls with some bed liner. Thanks to the members in our community for answering my questions!

Would you recommend a certain size,would 255/35/20 all around fit on these wheels?

Kenu Airframe is a good look. It's an cheaper alternative than what I want though.
I think I'll get the Kenu for the other car but this is what I'm aiming for.
