Default "Sliming" aluminum wheels

I just replaced the alunimum wheels with steel ones

Get the steel wheels from a auto scrapyard, they are pretty cheap,
espically if you need 8 NEGOIATE!

You can then sell the alunimu ones. I traded them for hupcaps since I
didnt want to advertise the old wheels pure lazy.

best change I ever made, the only better one was a remote
starter......


replace wheels at time of new tires so balance and mounting isnt extra
