Cool The new shoes and slight mods......ohh yeah there will be pics!

Unable to wait i decided on starting this "new shoes" thread.

I have been saving for some time now and planed it just right.

Looking to change Tiffany's shoes and make them special. I bought 18" legends in liquid graphite and had them changed to liquid silver.

Then, the center caps had to be changed too. So I decided on decepticon caps.

Last but not least, the tires. After many readings and video viewing the choice was made. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta!

So now i have the RJ Legends' 18" in Liquid Silver with Vredestien Ultrac Sessanta and the Decepticon center caps.

At this moment i am putting the caps together. i will take some pics soon so you can see what the heck i am talking about.

THe tires are great, very smooth, soft but yet i am able to corner very well. Quiet like death and good looking too. I recomend these tires 100%. If you are in the market for tires these are the ones you should get. Better than any other tire i have tried.

Shout out to ZhenyaF! Whats up man.

I finally got them just the way i want them.

Here are some pics i took the other day showing those Decepticon Center Caps off.



Should i really lower it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?



Check out those Vredestien pattern!

yea man, looks great- lowering it would not only increase the handling, but it adds a few more ponies for an extra ooomph during VTEC

The lugs on them are from RJ and they come with the adaptor. Those thugs and robots will need that to take them off.

BTW, i have posted the center caps on the black market. They have sticky backs so make sure you clean the seat before sitting. - "Thats What She Said"
