haha thanks...i was hesitant going with black, but since these rims were initially curbed to hell, might as well fix it up under the DIY and just let these be my winter beaters

Not only did they help a lot, they instill a level of confidence that it's dangerous

With the LM60’s, do you notice a flat spot on the tires if it sits for more than a few hours? I’ve got the WS70’s and it’s pretty noticeable. It’ll work its way out in about half a mile or so but it’s pretty annoying...

Cool winters.
Have you thought about putting some spacers on the rears?

I haven't noticed anything like that yet, but if it does develop a flat spot only a few hours later, i wonder how it's gonna be like leaving it overnight and stuff????

It’s sat for 5 days once and it wasn’t any worse so no big deal, just annoying.

Anyhow, the black on black looks good! Very Johnny Cash.
