Nice! What's happening in the front? (i.e. tire size, roll, camber, etc.)

Wow, those look great on your car. I love concave wheels. I think only lowered cars can pull those off, and you did it perfectly.

Very nice. Any specs on tires? Reminds me of this setup



And i think you went a little overboard with shadows/highlight recovery in PS
