87 GN New wheels

[BlackMetal]

Got my new wheels on today. Pretty satisfied, not as jaw dropping as I thought the end-result would be. I'm content though, considering they look slightly similar to Simmons and at what I'm assuming is less than half the cost. Mainly wanted a wider wheel in back, mission accomplished.

Only unforseen problem was that the center caps won't fit on the front wheels because of the bulge on the hub. I'll figure something out to cover it up.

Took some quick pictures, needs a car wash, rims haven't been polished, tires aren't shined.

They don't say WOW to me but they are nice looking. Polish em up and snap some photos from the side.

Yeah, there was no sunlight today either, these pictures make everything look dull.

thanks for the reply man I wish the manufacturer will produce the correct BS so we can enjoy those wheels, maybe a 17X10 with BS from 3.5 to 5.5 especially for the notched job. I'm currently waiting for my Boyds Smoothie II 17X10 BS of 5" to fit a 315-35-17 Mickey's DR, just be very careful using spacers/adapter I had a very bad incident with it.

Those Smoothies are nice, I considered getting those.

Thanks for the advice about the spacers, I'll be watching them very carefully the first few weeks.
