Here they are, I still have to swap out tires as the ones on the black wheels are 215-40s so they're a little short.

Old,

Huge thanks to o2designs for the hook up on the wheels and to Pappy for letting us swap them out in his driveway!!

Nice Rims but they need a little help tying them in with the car. Looking at the before picture the wheels compliment the car coloration, with the after it really makes the body and the wheels stand apart from one another which isn't a bad thing if that is what you are after. As Y2K said body color calipers (or even the "standard" Red) would help breakup the overwhelming dark coloration of the wheels in the wells and help to tie the rims into the body scheme. Some 35% tint on those windows would go along way towards making it all flow a bit better as well. One other small thing if you are inclined would be to either change out or niteshade the side markers to bring a little more black into the mix on the body.

I have his old wheels....


And I said yesterday when we mounted them...the brakes should be freshen'd up, but Steve already picked up some caliper paint, so we'll wait...

But this is truly one car that pics don't do it justice. It looks sooooo nice in person....

Sweet, also after thinking a bit dark objects suck to photograph it's tough to get enough detail to do justice.

You are a rotten person Chalon, You know that right?

If I could afford 16" Rotas and new tires I'd do it in a heartbeat.
