Default My Wheels & Tires [Pics]

Tell me what you guys think, these are sitting in the Van ready for swap once I get to the shop on Friday. Spending the night there and coming back Saturday night or so.

NOT 56k friendly.

BTW, the wheels are actually darker in person, but I guess the lighting was insane . . . . have no idea why my garage is kinda dim, not dark but dimmer than the house.

Guess the lighting is just weird. Oh well.

The wheels are matte gunmetal.

Tires are BFG G-Force KDW2's

275/35R18 fronts
285/40R18 rears

Improved traction will be a godsend.

LOL yeah drive back without paying them the other half LOL.

No Super 8 FTW!!!

Actually it's really cheap and comfy to stay. And I get next Monday and Tuesday off from school! (no class on Tuesday due to my weird schedule).

So that means driving from Sat-Tue

4 Days FTW!!!

Ummm no.

I have a friend with the exact same tires in the rear and he's N/A.

It is not "off" by any means.

Do you use the RAYS black lug nuts Peter?

I didn't know you had the same tires too!

Great minds think alike.
