That's right, I've decided NOT to go with the original wheels and invested in a set of Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels. Thanks to the amazing find on Ebay, I managed to pick up a full set of 15" wheels (no tires yet) for a hundred bucks.
I doubt I'll be able to find tires for that cheap, but I'll keep looking. In the mean time, here is my M/T in all it's shiny glory.
Though I only have these two pictures, you get the idea of what I have now, and how they'll look under my yellow monster.
The plan is to get some big mud slinging tires to slap on the mighty Mickey Thompson wheels. Maybe these will do the trick....
Maybe???
