ya bro they are painted but gonna re-paint to black. tire sizes are 235/30/20 up front with a 20X9.....and 275/30/20 rears on a 20X10, reason for tire size is cause these wheels are not to aggressive which I'm fine with cause im gonna hopefully be as dropped as you bro. at least try to shoot for..lol

oh I took care of that a long time ago...I mean like yearsssss. When I had my buddy paint my ride I had him cut the fenders up to add about an inch to widen it so I can run wider wheels so no problems up front nor in the back. I just need to get the coils,,,which I keep procrastinating. uuggggg...

Ya it was but well worth it. I love the way it turned out. They look better now I pushed it out all the way around with some spacers so it looks more flush, of course the whole deal is to not use spacers but with these wheels the offsets were already set so I had to work with them. It's ok though the lip sizes are fairly decent : 2 3/4 up front and 3 1/2 in the rear so they still look decent. When I lower it moar with coils then it will be a lot better. Thanks for the compliment.
