Default Two New Pictures: GTO + 1/2" Drop + Polished CCWs

A few weeks back someone tried to steal my CCWs but didn't get away with them (thank goodness) so ever since I've been riding the stock 17s. Today was extremely nice out so while I was sitting around watching the Powerblock I hand polished the lips and faces of the 505As and threw them on the car for the day. I was out driving around enjoying the weather and decided to stop on my way back to my place in front of an office building to snap a few shots real quick as the car and the CCWs were relatively clean and because I dropped the new Pedders 1/2" drop rear springs in recently (they replaced my King 0" drop rear springs and make the car sit nice and level with the 1/2" drop King front springs that are currently on the car).





The CCWs are back off now though. I'm daily driving the GTO now and the full polished finish is a bit much to keep up with so I'll be getting a brushed and cleared finish on the face, spokes, and barrel and leaving the lip high polished. They wont be going back on until they're refinished, I've got maximum security measures in place, and my rear fenders are rolled as they're rubbing bad in the back with the drop in the rear.

Thanks guys. I use a Nikon D80 with a Nikkor AF-S DX 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.

Hey 427, this is what I walked outside to a few weeks ago...

I feel your pain man. I was livid and they didn't even get away with mine. Thieves are the worst scum of the earth IMO. To take what another man works hard for is one of the lowest things you can do.

Great pics as always. Man that sucks about your wheels, I honestly hate that people have no respect at all for another's property.
How come you're DD the GTO? I thought you were getting the WS.6 to DD.
Again, looks awesome

i might be late but it looks to me like they didnt have a jack to lift the car up at all and prob tried to pull the wheel off while it was sitting on the ground which made the roters fall onto the inside of ur rims.. thank god those f*** were as stupid as they were..
