Plus the spokes match the brushed aluminum Lingenfelter badges, which is pretty cool. Might look better with the lip brushed too though!

I know it's been said before, but I'll throw in my 2 cents. Didn't like it at first glance, but after looking at it for a sec it grew on me REAL QUICK. Different...suttle...clean. Me likey!

Ron: I guess you'll just have to come by everyone's house and show them in person. I'm in the northwest part of Houston

I had no traction, so I had to buy some wider rubber out back (and front by default). Got a great deal on some take off wheels from a friend of mine, but I'm undecided on whether I like them or not. Got them cheap enough to powdercoat back to my comp grey though, so no biggie.
19X11 with 305/30 and 18X9.5 with 275/35 (Bridgestone R050s).
Backround sucks, just wanted to snap a few before work (just put them on last night).
Any DFW guys see me rollin' around, give me a wave and we can shoot the breeze.

You MUST check dates of posts before grave digging them.
Ron doesn't even own that car anymore.
FYI, it's allways a good idea to remove the images from a post that you quote, as it clutters things. If you're trying to point out/refer to something on a single pic, leave only that one.
