Default New shoes and rubber

Some of you may or may not know I work at an Auto Plus an auto parts store here in PA. Anywho one of our jobbers I have really gotten to like and have become friends. Well he was trading in his wife's car and asked me if I wanted to buy the rims off of it. They were the American Racing Casino's in chrome not even polished...but real chrome! Thinking no way I could afford those he told me $400 bucks with the old tires he had on them. I sold the old tires for $60 (not greatest condition and wrong size for me) turning this into a set of 4 chrome rims for $340! Wrapped them in some new Kumho rubber and I am ready for cruising this spring! Would of liked 17's but for the price couldnt pass it up!

Wheels look nice, man. What set of Kumho's did you get? This is my first set of them, I'm running KR21s. I love them so far.
