Default Ordered my new rims/tires!

I wish they had different center caps but that is all. I can't wait for spring break so I can get them on the car and it back on the road (well if the snow is gone )

I looked at those but want to wait until I have the extra money... I had to put part of those on the credit card, but i need them to drive my car this summer.

Well either way they will ook really nice. I have the same setup on my car, and I still have the stock silver americanmuscle center caps... they stick out like a sore thumb and look awful to me... but I still manage to get alot of complements on the wheels.

You could always get the plain black center cap from AM. That's what I'm thinking about doing when I put my super sports on.

Nice looking rims. On a slightly different track after seeing the centre caps, is there anywhere to buy Ford Racing caps?

I'll probably hold off on center caps until I get a few other things for it.

I have no idea where you could get those, I don't remember seeing them when I was looking for rims the last few months

Nice pick on the rims but I don't have good things to say about those tires, that's for damn sure. Granted I was acting on stupidity, I've totaled a car on those piece of **** Sumis. There's a reason they're cheap and I won't be getting anything from them again. Just my two cents!

I have heard several people say that. I don't have the budget to buy a really nice set of tires at this point thanks to my own stupidity. I really liked my rikens but to buy and have tires mounted and balanced would cost as much as this whole set does. I could have went OE with nexen tires but to get the size would have cost like 2-300 more.

When the time comes I need new ones I will probably get 2 more 17x9 rims and then tires so when the time comes I can get a GT I can use it as a street strip bracket car
