for a sec, I thought it was the other blackura... Nice drop, but I have to agree with flipside on the wheels, any wheels with a lip should start at 19" to offset the 1" smaller diameter illusion wheels like that usually have.

Drop looks good. It should settle a little more and give you more of a drop.

Not feeling the wheels.

drops look good. The only thing about the wheels is that it is too small dude.

Nice drop and good looking TL. Shoot some tire shine on that rubber and you'll be set.

The ride isnt bad at all IMO...

as for the wheels...they look bigger in person...but i would have gone with 19's i just heard that the ride is a little worse and i would have had to go with a lower profile like a 30-35 instead of the 40 i have on there

too many potholes in my area

plus i got a siiiiick deal on these......couldnt pass it up

i plan on getting another set next year...we'll see...

i think i may get another 1/8-1/4 inch drop when it settles
