Drake Gave Me An Idea...



he mentioned that those are his favorite budget wheels. well i saw these a while ago on loochy's maro:



since everyone is getting sick of the ZR1s, and i am too, and since i've always wanted custom wheels rather than stock wheels, this might be the perfect solution...and the good news, i just got new tires, 245/45R17, which is actually more suitable for these 8" wide wheels rather than my current 9.5" wide wheels...no more scraping the wheels, the tires take the hit.

i figure i can buy some salad shooters with tires for about 100 bucks, then slap them on and sell my zr1s and buy these. so...first off do you guys like this idea and if so, what can i get for four ZR1 wheels? one has a small chip in the lip, two others have scrape marks on the inside from my dam calipers .

5x120 and 5x4.75 are pretty much the same thing.

I don't think Caleb did either, in regards to his one last post where you asked the size.

i like some of the kaizer wheels, but I don't think any of them would work on Mayhem.
