Default Gots me a new wheel

Finally got my new front wheel put on. It's a 21" DNA Envy black contrast cut.

Even better, my shotgun shocks came in today too. Can't wait to put those in!

My winter project is going to be fitting in a Radium wide tire kit to add a 250 to the rear. That should be fun.

Thanks guys. I have gotten 2 flat front tires within the last 3 weeks. **** luck. I used needing a new front tire as an excuse for buying a new wheel. Got it brand new off of eBay for $600. Didn't think that was too bad a deal.

Great looking wheel, you will love the shocks. Do yourself a favor with the wide tire kit and get a 240 tire...250 rubs on both sides.

Ahh yes. I remember reading that in your write up ( thanks for that BTW). I can sometimes be a cheap *****, and I figure, why go with the heartland kit if the radium kit achieves the same look for WAAAAAYYYY less. It may not be as easy as an install as the heartland, but between me and my buddies mechanical knowledge, I'm sure we'll make it work.
