This thread is worthless without pics, but they're not mounted up yet or anything. Here they are:

Rims: Black ZR1's with chrome lip. 17x9 all around. I wanted 17x11 in the rear but I can't pass up a good deal. They were originally chrome wheels, but were powder coated black so they don't have a polished lip, they are actually chrome.

Tires:
2 Used Goodyear Eagle F1 GS 275/40/ZR17 (Decent shape)
2 New Nitto 555R 275/40/17

All I need are some center caps (which i'll probably get off ebay since no one has a set laying around they want to give up), black lugs, and get them mounted up and realigned!

Its gonna be awhile til I get pics unfortunately. I am just excited. I will def post pics once I take some, though. For now, here's what was on my car when I bought it, and whats on it now.

Before:

It might look like I drag the car a lot, but I dont. I just dont have too many side profile shots.

I have a set of covers too, I was just looking around for actual black lugs. I think I'll just use the covers.

Who do you have mount tires in the area, Troy? My tire guy had an unfortunate loss in his family and no longer does it. I heard horror stories from CJ's and Ken's is $$$. When these go on I'll probably drop it an inch and put some different shocks in anyway so maybe I'll have Manbeck's do everything for me and just eat the cost since it'll need to be aligned anyway.

Know of anyone else in the area?

I've been looking also because most tire places around us rape us on balance and mounting charges on new tires that weren't bought from them. If I find anyone I'll let ya know and If you do let me know.
