Anthracite FR500s 18x9/10
255/40-18 BFG KDW2s up Front
295/35-18 BFG KDW2s in the Rear

I need to work on the center caps...the front dust cap is too big and pushes out the center cap.

I would need to knock them down a bunch.

I forgot to mention that my car is SUPER dirty...and rarely do I post pics of it in this condition. So...disregard the dirtiness.
