Default some new shoes

Finally got around to moving the car to my new place and took the chance to take some pics of the new wheels and my b&b exhaust......again.

Oewheels 18x10 on all four corners hoping soon I can put my 6le rear diffuser on

Attached Thumbnails some new shoes-img_20140406_185358186.jpg
