Picked up those wheels and tires. The tires are pretty much brand new 50k mile tires. Also have the tpms sensors still on the wheels. I'm stoked. Yay for two sets of wheels. I feel like I'm joining the club of having a s*** ton of wheels.

Impulse buy alert...

I picked one up today from Frys and installed it after work.

This thing fits perfectly under the seat. It's just the right amount of bass too. Not overkill for the world to hear but just enough to keep the sound clean. Works great with my pioneer deck.

^ Nice! B)

Picked up some gently used rubber off one of our MO friends here for a very generous price :D

Planning on getting my new wheels mounted tomorrow since I have the tires to go with them... ;)

Sweeet. I'm liking the pictures of your new wheels. They kind of resemble the 18" TRD wheels. But gold of course. Can't wait to see them installed
