Cully's SS - New Pics / Mods

Thought I'd start a thread since I have a couple things in the works...

Just had these installed today.

Looks good, I love the contrast of black on red. I think it would look even better with your SS emblems blacked out!

Thanks all! Yeah I'll think about blacking out the SS emblems hmmm. Maybe photoshop first.

They did I think, but they're discontinued on tirerack, got a great deal!

99 per instead of 140... and then 60 bucks off because the ups guy dropped the package :/

Thanks!
Hell I think I had tire shine in my trunk and forgot to use it. But this wasn't the 'final' photoshoot. I literally pulled into the empty lot next door after getting them installed.

But... I'm weird... I don't like aftermarket tint. Plus IL is absurdly strict about it. If I could buy factory tinted glass I would.

I totally understand about the tint, it's not worth the hassle from cops or the headache of trying to find someone to put an inspection sticker on one either. Still looks killer man, nice choice!

Those wheels look great on your car. I saw them a while back at Tire Rack and thought they would look nice on my red G8. Good choice!

They look good. Some black headlights would set off the front.

The new wheels are 18x8 Elbrus I04 and I think about ~25 lbs each. Not sure how much the stockers weigh. I switched my Eagle GT's over which were stock size, 235/50-18. And how wide are stock, 7 or 7.5?

I'll have to think about those headlights, they could look good. If anybody can point me to a thread where people show them off i'd appreciate it.

I think somebody on here has them on a red MC. I think if you have black overlays and other black stuff, it looks good, but if you still have a lot of factory "chrome," leave them stock. JMO.
