Went with the 17 inch NV 305's in matte black. A member here posted up a pic of his rig with 33's and the NV's and it was just a look I liked.

It was had choosing rims......

Old and new

Thanks guys......It's been a LONG time coming.....

Now to tackle those grafted rear quarters I so badly want. Had to get the correct tires on before I could start.

REALLY wish Dennis Carpenter had produced those stamped rear Q's as they had a SC last year (or was it 2 years ago). Would have saved me a ton of work.

New tires and wheels are one of the improvements that make you feel the best. Looks great! Can't wait to see those grafted quarters.

Thought I could get away with running more air in these new shoes....appears not. 35psi in the fronts and it was a bit dart happy. As pressure built, more so.

Guess I'm back to running 28PSI or so.....will play with the pressures till I get it right...

That's funny, I had a spare mounted on a new wheel last week and the tire shop guy scoffed when I told him to put 25 in it. "Don't you mean 35?!" he said. Uh, no? He just kept muttering about it...

28-30psi cold has always been the sweet spot on my rig with the old tires.

Time will tell where the sweet spot is on these new ones......I know 35 cold isn't going to work. Pressure had built to 40 psi by the time I got home........speed over 50 mph was not fun......

That's just your suspension saying it wants Bronco love money too. Spend money on one part the other parts get jealous. The cycle never ends.
