Default New wheels

Well, after much thought and investigation I bit the bullet and bought a set of new wheels for my beastie. Went with Granite Alloy GV6's and they look awesome!!! Have a buddy in the tire business so I get a really good brother in law deal on tires/wheels. Can hook guys up so for more details contact me

They stick out about 1" or 2" further than stock. It is noticeable to look at, but makes it look tough too!

Less than you would think. They hum a bit at 100 km/h but not too bad. Have had them at 120 km/h and still not too bad.

You ever have one of those days where you suddenly realized that you have misspelled something in a post. Sorry guys, the wheels are made by Granite Alloy, misread the receipt and typed Graphite LOL! Yep, one of those days.
