Default LOOK LOOK LOOK! 56k yada yada....

I finally am done with my side project.... i took apart my true three peice momo rims... 17x10.5 all around.... I painted the centers black, they used to be faded grey/silver, and I polished the buckets/lips, finally bolted me back together.....

and.... finally got the initiative to go outside and get some pics.... got lucky on the locations.... opinions?








on my way back home i got onto the highway, and low and behold there was a C5 corvette, we got a little run in, he slowly pulled away.....

I'll be totally honest with you here. I didn't like them at all at first. I think they actually look pretty good now. Only other thing you need to do is get some wider tires so they don't look like they are stretched onto the rims and I think it will be a really nice look for your car. Good job!


Also: sig pics are only allowed to be 500x150. Change it out really fast before it gets changed for you if you know what I mean...

im not crazy about it, but ill say it looks OK. How about a close up shot of the wheels? Or maybe some direct light on the wheels in a pic. In half those pics you cant even see the rims.

Do you have any non-blurry pics of the rims close up? It's like I'm looking at bigfoot footage with some of these shots.

Edit: I will say, from what I can see, the wheels look muuuuch better now, kinda like a drag-trim look.

Thumbs up

FWIW, Seems like most of your shots were on the wrong side of the light, seems to me it would show better if you shot the side in the direct light versus the back side of the light, and like the others said show a close up of your rim work, ...just my $.o2 bro. I hate when car sellers on ebay show you a bunch of car pics shot in the shade, I want to see the cars good points not the shade, seems like they are hiding paint flaws that way not showing what they have....fwiw.
