Your tires in the second picture look rediculous that narrow, other then that the rig looks good.

the tires in the picture are a little too cut for this rim set ,I have another set I did without cutting the tread so they maintain a little more rounded look but still put all the weight in the center for traction on ice. my new set has alot more screws and the edges have small nails to bite on the sides. it realy treats ice like rocks I can crawl up stuff it couldnt look at before. for $5 a set I can afford to cut some up . (I have like 6 sets) every one thinks they look like crap but to see them go on ice is impressive enough to out weigh the goofy look.otherwiseI would be in the house....

Are those self tapping sheet metal screws in the tires? Do those work at all? Other than that I think it looks good......Screws????? |

Not trying in hijack, but where did you find that GI Joe Jeep? Dang that's awesome. I searched the Wally World website and couldn't find anything.
