ur rims have the thin polished lip as opposed to the wide one, which looks kinda funny. i dont dig the all black......at least not on ur car....maybe on a car that had absolutely no other color except black. i dont like the thin lip, but the all black is kinda weird too. but u seem to like it, so good for u man

Yeah, but mine doesn't have a polished lip anymore!

Mako, I remember that pic. That is pretty cool, but I'm chicken too. I don't want white lettering.
