If it doesn't have rims, what's holding the tires on?

Pretty pics... that didn't need the dramatic title to be appreciated.

Hey Everybody

I am new to this site and doing mods. First, compliments on the nice pics and since it is the color of my TL, it is nice to see it on an image.
What is included with an Aspec package? And where is the place to go for these products?

BTW, what does "wdp" stand for since I see it all the time?

I think he's implying he's able to be content with what he has. Not wanting to spend a few grand on unnecessary items for a car isn't being cheap. Being cheap is not wanting to make car payments, ignoring the maintenance, and not upkeeping the vehicle.

If there was just a little more light on the top half of the car and the wheels were turned straight, that would have been a killer shot.
