        Holy shit that looks mean... me likey!

        But yes, keep them clean all the time... those wheels are known for rusting bad, and fast if not taken care of.

            I like the look a lot, I have 225/70/15 all around, and they look too small for the rear. I need to upgrade the rears. I don't know if I want to try that with my 7 in rear wheels.

                Nice!!! Has a Magna look to it. All you need now is a decent chrome/mag polish and like Scott said, religiously clean and polish those wheels.

                        In a few days I'm going to do a full intro on the car in readers rides i think with a little writup an the story and most importantly allot more pics of the whole car and yes the red interior haha.

                        -yeah they handle great, but i wouldn't stick a 275 on a 7" rim, 8's about the lowest i would go. but i fully reccomend this rubber setup for sure.
                        thanks for the tips, i think i will paint the backside of the rim with a good aluminum colour spray paint to keep things from rusting back there and seal up the welds and seems. plus the inside looks bad anyways so a little aluminum paint wont change the look at all.

                        thanks allot for the help lately, and the great comments!
                        but i will keep them clean and polished for sure!
