still loving these rims

they gotta be coated with something, because they are wicking away all the snow and salt and look brand new everyday, without me doing anything!

unfortunately it was night time already, but I'll get more pics tomorrow

really loving how they look

I believe they sit 1.25" further out from the truck roughly.

I wanted to do -12mm offset, but it only came in 9" rims, and my tires weren't rated for that. Could I have done it? probably. did I want to risk anything? nah

-31 to 0 would be 1.22", but you gotta count the smaller room size, too, since you went from 8.5 to 8, so that's another 1/4 back in. You should be right at 1" farther out by the math. Looks killer.

Some before and after pictures of light output with the HID retrofit

I tried to get some cool action shots, but my poverty iPhone 7+ camera doesn't seem to handle it very well:

Great output shots.

As seen from my poverty iPhone 7.

haha maybe it's time to start ending all of my work emails with "sent from my poverty iPhone 7+".

I'm working on trying to edit some before and after footage to demonstrate just how bad the LEDs were, but I'm not having a ton of success

 

[Galandorian]

I couldn't figure out how to splice clips together to show the LEDS / HIDS side by side like in the pics, but here are some individual videos

I would suggest turning the sound down / off, because it's either me talking to people or music

hopefully we'll get some more treacherous white out conditions, but I think it's actually supposed to be like 50 degrees with no snow all week

did my 2nd retrofit

turns out the H1 7.1 is VERY different from the H1 7.0, and this new kit turned 12 hours into less than 2

waiting for sealant to dry over night and then I'll get them installed and tested

also making a YouTube how to guide because it's so simple, but there are no good guides online

Haha I have a iPhone 6+ like a peasant, I try and use my backup phone for better pics, which is a galaxy s7. Still a peasant phone but a better camera than the iPhone lol
