Default Just got new wheels and rubber for my Winter toy

Just upgraded my wheels on my Armada to 20" Pimptastic chrome OEMs 2009-2010 model year wheels, and General Grabbers HTS tires. I also added some QX56 wood trim inside....

Ha-ha....The nice thing about the Armada is that there are a lot of aftermarket parts available. I just bought a set of halo fog lights, and am thinking about getting a set of halo HID headlights.

Wheels look good, I would have gone a little bigger (Hell I have 20s on the XF LOL). I am not sold on the wood trim from the Q. It looks stuck on, like a cheap plastic overlay, maybe it is simply the picture, I would have to see in person.....

They are not overlays. They are OEM parts.

Thanks John. Wishing you, Molly, and your family Merry Christmas/Holidays.

BTW, I'm also adding a nice set of halo fogs, and headlights. It's easy finding aftermarket parts for the Mada.
