unfortunately I had to sell those rims because the ride was horrible. But now I'm back to the the gold rotas.
Either way you can't lose imo

yeah i remember when you and jomo switched rims for a bit too, both looked real nice there too

right now im lovin the black on black so im gonna stick with it, but if swamp didnt sell me his wheels i was going to buy something in a dark bronze. If i suddenly find a large pile of money somewhere, i still may go that way in the future

Hey Jbiird317! Nice wheels! You think you can take pic of ur car on an even pave? I want to see if the drop is even on those RM.

Are you running stock tires? On that springs, is the ride hella stiff? Do u have to always watch out for those dips on the road?

black on black = (2thumbs)

glad they're not flat black

Ive been in california for a few weeks but I fly home tonight. I will try and get some pictures for you tomorrow...

as for your questions: Yes I am running stock tires. No the ride is not that stiff, it is most definitely stiffer than stock, but not teeth-rattling, back-breaking stiff. Yes I am always watching out for dips in the road. I have hit some big ones by mistake and havent had any problems with scraping. The only time I scraped was when I had 3 other guys in the car with me and I was backing out of the driveway.

haha no no trust me I DON"T make a lot of money...i wish! My company is closing down their site here in Cupertino (last non-apple building on the apple campus actually) and moving it back to Delaware. The company has been sending me back and forth from delaware to silicon valley every couple weeks since february and will be til July or August.

Personally, I think his car still looks better...but mine looks a lot better than it did.

I really like the color combination of the red / gold (bronze?) That or dark gray seem to go best with red. Post some more of your car!
