well they aren't pics of ronnies car but here's to brightening up this thread

You guys might remember the first wedding I shot as the main photog that I posted here:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=308

Well here's my 2nd wedding. The suite at the hotel was BALLER. It was two stories, had a grand piano and overlooked all of SF. It was the presidential suite...literally. Apparently Obama stayed in that same room when he came to visit SF.

Overall I'm somewhat happy with my shots, although I feel like there weren't as many keepers. There was actually a 2nd shooter there and we split up to cover the wedding party so I don't have many shots of the bridesmaids

Sorry for the watermarks, I used the pics in a blog post and I'm too lazy to edit them out C&C please

Well, looks like after Wekfest, my days of rolling WORK wheels is over.

I will still have my Equips for the moment.

Thanks to James (yellow_sub) for showing me this link. It took me a while to decide, but I put in a bid for it and WON! Hopefully they show up in time for TORC.

Looking nice Dennis!

I don't really like either Johnny. I think aftermarket wheels can be better.

Actually, that bug is too low. As far as the law goes. My bro got tons of fix it tickets. That's why it's best to get the lowering beam. Super fast to adjust.

I wonder how much those wheels go for now. Probably bank!

Didn't know. I don't check out the black market. Forgot about the V6 lug pattern.

Doesn't seem like he's getting much help otherwise.

Brandon, if you want the Emotions, the price difference is not too far out of your budget. Save a little more and get what you really want!! Don't settle!!

i agree. dont settle till you get something worth spending your money on. i almost made that mistake remember, the first set of wheels i was looking at to replace my works were a cheap brand. they had me hooked with their price which was like 550 for some nice flush rims.... luckily i got talked out of buying them by several people who told me to save up a little more and get something worth upgrading to.... and now here i am with my dream wheels, AME FS-01s was much higher than my initial budget but i couldnt say no for the price of 1350 shipped in like new condition... not a mark on these wheels.


another set of wheels i really like are the Work Emotion XT-7. i would have loved to get those if i didnt find these AMEs
