Forgive us, then, because back tales of "I make a lot of money doing investing/lottery/business partner/etc" make wild claims so much more believable here on AZine.

No one questioned that he had a business partner, but whom when a specific car was brought up & that the owner of that car doesn't list anyone else as an owner/partner on the vehicle.

There's no disrespect, just an honest curiosity.

My impatient self drove a long ways to pick up these set of 24"s. Tires mounted this week and the matte wrap will be done by Friday. Some before shots and a shot of wheel and centercap.









24"s.

Hopefully your wheels get sorted out soon.

True, but they're never in 24"s. Just keeping it somewhat simple.
Excuse the missing grill pieces, those are being done in matte black and the matte grey conversion starts tomorrow.

Are you considering larger rotors at all? A BBK? One of my pet peeve about trucks with large spoke wheels is that the stock rotors just look disproportionate.

^Maybe.

Sorry for the delay, but here is the photo of the wrap.

Still not even close to being done, much much more still underway!

Custom headlights, tail lights, supercharged grill and vents will be done soon. Thinking about doing the handles in matte black.

Ill reserve judgement until its done, but I feel as though matte black/grey/white/fuscia wraps have run their course.

Is there something wrong with the wheels around the logo? It looks bumpy/uneven like they did the stamp wrong or something. Also why did you paint the stock grills if you were just going to replace them? Doesn't look too bad so far.

Better pictures whenever I get the chance, school is just starting up here.

Grills painted because plastidip is quick and wheels look worse on the images than actual. But honestly they are a noname brand and will not last on the car long either.

hmmm....I'm sure it looks different in person but I'm surprised how much I liked the wheels with the stock paint but not feeling the matte. Again, probably better in person because matte is hard to capture.

Not bad... but the stance looks off to me. I'm guessing it's the wheels... but it makes it ride "tall and skinny". If you could get the stance like the white one with the modded headlights... you'll be in good shape.

Gotta say though... not feeling the wrap. Just my opinion, but those types of wraps look better on low profile vehicles. Just looks off on the RR...

Are these pics of your Range? They seem to do it a bit more justice.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

Also agree with the "tall and skinny" comment. I think you should get some mesh style wheels with a little lip and get kind of a Project Kahn kinda thing going



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

edit: not necessarily mesh, but something a little more "full faced" has the tendency to square out the look a bit

I think the one in post 75 and the white one above look great because of the bumpers. The OPs Range has the base bumpers, and they look too dainty IMO.

can you lower the ride, or are the rims too big?
