New wheels for my VR4. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

After the long and arduous journey of finally getting my wheels and tires, I can finally celebrate with a fine photoshoot at my local parking garage. Luckily there were very few other cars at the garage. Enjoy. High resolution pictures are available per request.

they look clean and simple... i'm not usually real big on chrome but i think they work. do you have any plans to lower the car?
and when you're taking photos in a parking garage (or most placed indoors that dont have flourescent lights) set your white balance to auto, or try setting it to 'tungsten' which would look like a lightbulb. it will help with that really strong amber cast in those photos.

Nice

They look really cool while rolling to.

Pocket_Rocket · 08-21-2008, 07:52 AM

Very nice! I like they way they are a little deep and oh so clean.

They look like Knockoff Cobra Rims.

And those Sodium Lights are Ridiculous.

TypeSL_T · 08-21-2008, 09:49 AM

Those rims look good on your car. I love the simplicity of them, but they still stand out a bit. Looks similar to my buddies on his 7.

Suspension is the next mod that I have planned. Tein S-Techs are what I have planned.

Yea. That's the later style Kaze Aerocraft lip. I got it from Japan 3 years ago. I payed 60,000 yen; which is approximately $550. They are no longer in production apparently and are very rare.

I tried that function as well. I didn't like the lack of saturation in the "tungsten" setting. But here is it anyway:

Looking good Art! Looking good.

We should meet up tomorrow. I'll show you where it is. I can't really describe it, since I don't know any street names in that area. Lemme know what you wanna do. Either PM me or call me. I got work till 5 though, so we can meet up after that.

Vinny · 08-22-2008, 01:45 AM

I've got work until 6. So that works for me. I'll call/txt you tomorrow.
