Wheels came in today....

These things look amazing in person.. Sucks though 1 of the rims is leaking air. not the tire the actual rim is leaking..rrrrrrr Kinda scares me about using a 3 piece rim....

Many more mods to come in the future, still too cold here to put em all on

Really? Does the bolts on the rims hold the seal?

theres a sealant thats applied to 3 piece wheels that goes around the whole connecting surface, once theyre seperated u have to reseal them. 2 pc wheels are a whole hub assembly and then the rim, the rim is 1 pc. a 3 pc is split down the middle or close to the tread w bolts, its a whole different type of wheel system. U always wanna water test 3 pc wheels before you mount them

suspension is stock.. the rear isn't slammed, must be my driveway it is a bit slanted..

I was waiting to see if anyone would recognize the fender vents. Duraflex makes them and I was wondering what everyone thought about them. Its funny non MB people think they look awesome everyone said get em, MB people well we'll see what you guys think. Duraflex fitment is terrible, but I have a rely good body guy who said if they dont fit he can make it work with the stock fenders. Its a big commitment I dont know if I am willing to make yet.. Voice your opinion guys...

Thanks

Yea. Picture was taken before I adjusted it. There isn't much of difference now but I'm gonna run it like this until I get my air suspension.
