Tires look non-existent. Other than that, pretty decent.

Looks so much nicer. If there was more meat on the tires and the wheel centers were silver, I think it would wook a lot better :goodjob:

I like it!! it's a good stretch, just make sure you keep your pressure up :goodjob: If you want your 521's to stand out do polished lips :yes:

the wheels look great. i do agree with everyone else about the tires. especially with the roads around here with all of the road work everywhere. but looks good otherwise

Throw some 40 series tires on there fast! I can't stand this look. I think it will still look great after that. The wheels look pretty good.
