Default June 3rd
So I sold my old wheels and rode on stocks for a few weeks, andi decided to get a better looking and more functional temp setup.
20x10.5 square +35 STR 601 with 245/35. I had to roll my front fenders and add a 5mm spacer. So I went to a good friends shop. AP Garage in Grand Prairie TX to give me some help.
Fenders were rolled, painted calipers, painted fog light's with Krylon yellow stain glass paint, I even white lettered my tires.
I'm waiting on my bonus from my job before I start the major mods. I will ad pics tomorrow since I can't upload from my phone

Not VIP wheels, nor VIP style. But if it looks good to you then, we cant complain.
