then got bored of em, sold em to a Homie Mike with the cleanest bagged 2g he rocked em better than i did
Picked up a set of AME Fin wheels 19x9 & 19x10, i dont remember the offset on these wheels. but i did add a 20mm spacer to the front and slammed it. These are the wheels that gained me one of those much wanted hellaflush stickers back in Hellaflush Venice Beach
Got bored of the AME sold em to a homie in the east. Picked up a set of Varianza T1S 19x9.5+15, 19x11+17, these fellas did not fit too well, even with hella camber, so i went caveman on my rear fenders haha had fucked up fenders but my camber went from -6 to -3.
Pictures when i first put em on, HELLA FAIL.
Raised the car up a quite a bit.
How the car Sits now LOL hella SUNK Status!!! & got rid of all that VIP shit Car is going in the body shop soon Car is getting rear fenders redone, amongst some other things.
btw the dog in the last few pictures is my pug Bentley
Thats it for now, stay tuned for pictures of her in the shop

haha man that was pretty epic biography so far, cant wait to see what happens next!
ps: so why did you choose to rock the base front lip instead of type s? for more of a clean vip look? it just looks so plain to me!

Keep us posted on the progress jay. Love your ride, that stance is sick. And I like the front end better without the mask. Hope you can make it out to the meet next month. We need a side by side shot. I'm always the only WDP at these things.

That rear fender is crazy! I also have a Bentley....Couldn't afford the real thing so I got an expensive cat and called it my Bentley....Your car is sick with all the rims. I thought the stock type-s rims looked good until I saw your car with all the others. Hope it comes back from the shop better than ever!

Will do Scott!
Yea more clean look, though the base lip might get modified when it goes in the shop
I still got em!!! dont worry, just off right now a friend is borrowing them for a show, plus i got new tires waiting to be put on em.
Front fender nuttin much rolled/ slighty flare, and dremel the contact point where the fender meats the bumper.

Yeah, I'm really liking the idea of the custom leather wrap, thought of it myself just dunno about the pass airbag? But I'm kinda leaning toward suede roof and A pillars down the line. I think that looks classy

It's okay dude! My 19x9.5 +24 19x10.5 +22 varianza T1S wbc were hella fail too!!! But we all make mistakes and we learn from them and the next stage will be perfect, and I am speaking on behalf of myself too

Love all the wheels you had.. almost bought those aces from the guy you sold them too..
I just swapped back to my stock wheels from some 19's.. you gotta admit it rides soo smooth lol ..

u know whats more ghetto, the fact the ball was measured when my car was a stock Height, that was um dec. 2007 LOL.... i haven't changed the height since.
as for the 9.5 up front, not much work, just rolled, slight flare, and dremeling and -2.5 camber
