New Wheels and Tires are on my OGXover
« on: April 14, 2014, 11:53:50 PM »
Well here she is with the new wheels and tires. I have a little work to do to the fenders and still have a list of stuff I want to do to her. took me several tries to find what I like but thanks to discount tires we put on a few options till I go this right.

What do you guys think? I have thick skin and can take constructive criticism.

OMG; those are the UGLIEST wheels I've ever seen on something with 4 wheels!!!!!!      Kidding........just testing your thick-skin claim!!    ;D

Actually, I thing they look great on that black Eagle!!   Very macho-looking.   Should make all those cookie-cutter high-boy 4x4 pickups quite jealous!!

The wheels are make by Black Rock. They are a 15x7 with a 4.5" back spacing. the Black Rocks are a satin finish and I believe Cagier and Unique make this same wheel in a Gloss.
