yeah, I am holding off until the thanksgiving weekend, don't even have the tires mounted on the wheels yet. And I still have to Plasti Dip them matte black (i'll prolly do a DIY on that).

In my garage, shouldn't take too long, and I'll take pics so you can see how it comes out.

haha i mean, it was my fault, i was driving. but there is something to be said for people freaking out in your car about whatever. certain things you don't do while someone is driving like yell 'OH MY GOD' or 'WATCH OUT' unless there is some road hazard. thankfully it was my 18's and not my forged specialties 19's, i would have been real pissed. the 18's are just for winter and they are kind a beat up anyway (i got them like that from a member on hear in a trade+cash for my RAYS, and i didn't really care that there was a bit of curb on 1-2 wheels. i got $700+the wheels/tpms(bald tires though) for my RAYS/tires/tpms but my tires only had like 5k on them. i think it was a pretty good deal.

How cute. You definitely don't want to be the person that puts your christmas decorations winter wheels on before Thanksgiving.
