Smile Platano's New Shoes

Here's a few pics my battery was dying on my camera. I will take more over the weekend. Let me know what you think. I really wanted the Racing Harts like Nippon has but they are on super backorder and I got sick of waiting. These were my last choice in wheels.

I'm not used to it yet either but atleast I dont have to scrub and scrub anymore like I did with the chrome. I'm turning more heads with the black. Alot of people like them it so far around my way.

yo that looks great.

i have nothing bad to say about the look.

great drop, great up-keep of the paint job.

i think if you have the smoked bumper lenses like i do, it'd flow lovely.

amber looks good, but with the black wheels i think if you got clear corners and

a bottle of the spray tint, you'd be looking even better.

all in all - WOW

looks great! (17s or 18s?)

I was supposed to black them out with VXCL and Dainfamous but they are doing on a day I can't, so I gotta wait on that. I'm too lazy to do it myself I'm too lazy to debadge my whip but I gotta do that soon too.

u dont gotta debadge it.

i think it might look better with badges on your color....

hey what do you think about tinting the clear corners?

that'd be a cool look i think.

I have the sportlines with the stock shocks. If you order Racing Harts expect to wait a long time my first choice was the Racing Hart CR in gunmetal and I ordered them in May and they still havent shown up. A guy on the 2nd Gen forum waited 4 months for his Racing Hart J5. They are sick ass wheels but you gotta wait for them.
