Default Wheels and Tires are Done!

Well It set me back a few bucks but the wheels and tires are done. These are Hot Wheels and Riven 235ZR/55/16s on a 16X8 wheel. Thanks for the patience and for the answers. Now I have to save up again for the paint job. I blew that money on the wheels. Can you tell the difference? LOL

I just got the same ones about three weeks ago and I love them. I'm thinking about replacing the Hot Wheels center cap, though, if I can find something that will fit. I think I'd rather have something Mustang in there.

Well thank you. Yeah I am looking into the wheel centers also. I wonder if the ones for the magnum 500 wheels will work? I will check it out later. Thats another $50 I do not need to spend. LOL

Looking good! I like the big rubber look myself. Was looking at 235/60/16s on the Vintage 50 series wheels myself. Know the owner at a tire shop whose gonna mount a few sizes for me when the time comes so I can see what looks best to me.

Again.. looks great! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

205/55/16, but I wish now that I had gone maybea size or two wider. The tires that are on there look good, but I would have liked a little more tire on the outside of the rim.

Look good man. I actually liked your old wheels too lol, maybe I'm just crazy, but the new ones look good too.

Soon as I get the tax check I'm gonna get some mags...
