^Jayvee, maybe the pics dont do the rims any justice?

I see what your saying, but I have no comment since I have not seen them in person. Either way, he is rocking a NICE set of wheels.

or maybe its because Italiano has whored them out already!

Josh, you're going to make Chris jump off a bridge.
Although I agree, I loved how the Vossen's looked on the car, they just didn't have the same prestige as these as far as name brands. But in that case, do you want what looks nice or what will get people to not hate you and instead congratulate you?

Even with the polished lip, its just so much of a plain design in the center. But, you can say YOU HAVE EM. The Vossen's were the lick to me. Those wheels looked so freaking HAWT! on your car. They looked so classy but yet aggressive...I LOVED THEm!

again, with all do respect...NO BASHING! I have just stared and stared trying to pin point it and I think I have found it. You car is still bad ass and love the PHAT LIP in the rear.
Sadly, I agree with all of this. Unfortunately, the TE's have lost a lot of their novelty over the years thanks to Rota, Varrstoen, etc.

06TL4LIFE...have you thought about doing your front "A" in white to tie in the theme?!?!
It would go very well with your rims, I think.

Other than that, wow...nicely done, man. Very unique.

Thank you sir! I actually read your post about them and I figure, if u can run them that low, i should have no problems with them. That and it didnt hurt I get em for a good price.

Thanks man! I was fortunate enough to sell the bright yellow wheels for the same price I picked these up for. Luckily, the previous owner did all the leg work on getting them chrome dipped in the US and then got it shipped back to Canada. I cant afford new wheels yet so these will have to do for now.


ITALIANO: You car right now it bang on. Classic style. Aggressive looking. I wouldnt change a thing! GREAT JOB!

It's probably a combination of the tire size, wheel offset, spacers?, etc...

I know we haven't talked in a while, but lets kick it some time. I can help you out with the rubbing issue. I ran a pretty aggressive set up a few months ago.

I have and always had that same tab/rubbing issue on my driver side. Never knew it was a tab...thought is has always been the fender from the arch to the joined flat area where the bumper meets. I was (one day...) going to cut a slice in the V section where the 2 meet and fold the arch/well of the fender up and semi repeat that to the area where the bumper meet. May not sound like that makes sense this is something I would have to take pics to explain...sorry.

On a side note, going to adj the rear 1/8-1/4 lower today

^Italiano, nice pics


PS. lower your cameras ISO to 100 and that pic would look 10X better.


A little moar info on that subject...Adjust your shutter speed, and aperature first. ISO should be the last adjustment to getting the correct exposure. Your shutter speed is 1/640sec, your aperature is f/16, and ISO is 800. you have plenty of room to adjust your shutter speed so you can lower your ISO. you want your ISO as low as possible so you dont introduce "noise" in your picture.

Some cameras handle higher ISO's better. just wanting to help you out

English please ... I wish i knew camera talk. Because i really enjoy taking pics and the outcome of a well taken pic. But of course, i lack the equipment and only strapped with a over priced Sony Cybershot PnS.
