Lies. Just need to know the magic code... These wheels were originally silver with the diamond cut lip.

Uh... maybe you can get close but it's not the same. So still, I'd never paint them...

Fixed that.
This is basically true.

I can find plenty of cars where I like both. It's my rim color that is making me go back and forth.

If they were black, I'd paint the top black without a doubt. It is nice to have a solid color, too. I think that's what I'll end up doing. I can always repaint it later if I hate it.
Paint the wheels black... seakret wyte It's what the kool kids do

Sorry for being MIA, I've been...working.

So I did a... "Photoshoot" right before I left, an impromptu shoot where I wanted to go to the same spot I took one of my side profile shots so I could compare the radical changes to the car, like a before and after. Well long story short that location is in front of this storage facility and some folks were using it, and I drove by a few times to see if they had left and I made some of them suspicious so I used an abandoned tire store instead.















With that said, I'm definitely going to have some changes/finish putting on the parts that I've already bought by Homecoming. In fact I want to have it done by June 1. That may be a lofty goal...

Anyway, stay tuned! Don't hold your breath though.
