Your wheels need some attention.

***Ruthless909*** · 03-13-2008, 02:29 AM

Nice! Did you do the install yourself?

***samx109*** · 03-13-2008, 02:31 AM

i did it with my friend.

yea, i used to have t/a stockies, but i decided to repaint them to graphite.. it was a huge mistake..

but yea, now i'm saving up some money for cheap rims.

Well it looks like you got a nice low drop; how does it ride? My Skunk2's should be here around the weekend time frame and I should be installing them myself Monday.

06blaksi · 03-13-2008, 09:14 AM

wait another week after they settle...with the Skunk2, the front tires will be just a touch past the lip...nice

Are you serious, I am so excited; it seems like majority of people on the site are anti-Skunk2's! There is not a lot of people that ride them; in fact that is one reason that I opted for them!

Those are 18", nice drop...I'm glad you figured it out. Did you use the thicker ones for the front?

***vtak07*** · 03-13-2008, 10:27 AM

sam, your not sailing a boat anymore!

Frank20 · 03-13-2008, 02:48 PM

Sam get some better pics pronto! I am debating between these or the sportlines myself and I want to compare the 2 setups.

nice man! make sure you do with your friend. there were some areas where i needed extra hands. for the rear part, you def need a help because someone has to hold down the rotor while other person puts in the spring.

you might not able to finish it by yourself unless if you can bench and curl like 400pounds. ahaha.
