well as yall know I used to go through wheels every 4 months with my G...I would work with some wheel builders to get my parts and redo/build my wheels on certain wheel setups..with this I hooked up with a few builders in Dallas and a builder on the east coast..I cant really give the specifics on how much I am paying since alot of these builds are for personal use or for advertising the talents of these wheel builders...if your interested then pm me what you have and what you want to do with your wheel setups

That's badass Rob!!!

Quarters pulled 1.5", no more demon camber, body line is still there. Just gotta wash her... next up refinish the wheels other than black and upgrade my headlights.

19x12-12
19x10-6
