I think they make it look more rugged, that way it doesnt look like a street queen.

Paint the ones on it black? It looks bad, i did it in photoshop, some wheels just dont look right in black. I would rather stick with my new $100 wheels, and sell the others for like 125.

I'm the definition of wheel whore. I have 4 sets of wheels for my 4Runner, and over 8 sets for my 280zx. I like those black steelies, simple as that.

Yeah i noticed that too. I got it for the snow, but pretty soon it will be a dd/trail rig, i dont think it will do to well in the snow with an aussie.

Im happy with my ADD system and dont foresee any need to mess with stock setup.Wheeling is an expensive habit I cant afford.Im content on getting from point A to point B without getting stuck in heavy snow. : - )

wow. that SUCKS your parents are like that. why did they get so mad because they rubbed? if you had stock wheels or stock wheels with stock bs they would not rub. its a proven fact. personally, i would rather have stock rims and 33s than 31s with black rims IMO. do you still got the 33s? or did you ever buy them?

No i didnt buy them, but i know quite a few people that wheel, so if i ever want some i can get a used set for really cheap. I will end up just putting them on my black wheels, they have 3 3/4 back spacing, stock is 4 3/4 i believe. The 33s i looked at were like 2.5 so they rubbed alot.

Where did the 33's rub?

I pounded the seam back and trimmed my front fenders, add a leafs in the rear. Later I installed a set of 2 inch lift springs, ditching the add a leafs.



And with 33" swampers
