well....i headed up to Palmyra today and got the rims that i MIGHT have been talkin bout on this forum,idr if i did....
but anyways....
they are 17x7.5 inch Eagle Alloys
two of them are already on my car because the tires on them had fair tread...
but the other two....which the rims themselves need a bit more tlc than the other two.....have some f*cked up tires,so im waitin on some cashflow to buy two new tires...an alignment....yatta yatta

I think the sun has risen by now, gotta post them pics.
So are you running just 2 rims and 2 wheels? If that's the case, I hope you just run all 4 regular until those rims are up to snuff. Nice pickup - what did you get? If you got the 077's, I freakin envy you man. Pics please!

The rims look a little beat up - when you get the work done in the winter - you should get the rims sand blasted and repainted.

im currently workin on them,one at a time...some sanding...a little icing...then they'll get repainted to match the projected look of the car
so........................... the rims are gonna be metallic silver w/ black in the grooves that are there and i was also thinkin bout doin it in the centercap on the inner circle of the chrome....havnt decided...
some quick examples i did w/ p/s

Im a big fan of working on 1 mod at a time and finishing it, you started body work and that should be your only focus, nothing else. Rims should be the least of your concerns.
^ +1 - unless you have money to do them all at once. The rims are not bad though.

i kinda have the money to do them all at once...cuz its not expensive to me
i do have the pull....
and from what i was told....i can get this ALL done over the winter
and in all reality....i dont need the money but i do kinda make it...idk its complicated....
but all i have to do is buy paint.....and a front and rear bumper...and everything else.....is freebies cuz im well favored by someone who is involved w/ autobody,but dont get it twisted,i will be doing the work,they are just going to help and allow me to have a place to work
actually you know what...heres a list of everything that is expected to get done...
Paintjob
Rims Fixed & Painted
Dif Front & Rear Bumpers
Shaved Door Handles
Repainted interior
and that should be it unless i forgot something....
and i know that...it can all get done over the winter
