My new and improved redondo red pearl

ok folks so its been a little while since i posted and i finally got to link up with my friend to get some pics of my new set up.

its not complete yet i still am going to powder coat the wheels, add a spacer up front, and go lower. But i figured id post these while i had the chance. I know the color mix isnt for all but im pretty satisfied with it and the wheel color is changing soon so keep your comments to your self if you dont like it thanks


wheel specs:

work vs-xx 18x9/10 +20f +30 rear

tires: 205/40/18 nankangs up front
235/40/18 michellins in the rear


enjoy

I like it a lot. Pretty ballsy. What color are you powder coating them? Same as the car maybe? that would look great I think

I'm a HUGE fan of different colored wheels and I've loved every single set of wheels you've had, but I'm not feeling this one.

that makes sense, but the rear looks at LEAST 3 inch wider in width, but its only 1 inch wider lol thats nuts..

but anyways, i've always loved vs-xx, hopefully jimmy pulls off a new color to show off those beautiful rims

@rockstar if your talking about bi you couldn't be farther off lol he copied me on this color =/ he mounted my tires for me than next thing I know he has teal wheels -_-

And thanks for the complimnts guys they look a lot better in oerson and the front wheels look smaller due to the stretched tire and the angle of the pics

But as to thenext color I may go ima leave that a suprise

i got to be honest and say im getting pretty tired of off colored wheels, especially teal, on all these "stance" cars..but in your case, it surprisingly works. ive always been a fan of the tl, and im glad to see a RED tl getting worked on

i know what you mean by looking 3inch wider, gotta love the look though.

im sure jimmy will not disappoint. With that stance that jimmy has now, i will like it regardless of color lol .
