I know we have joked about this several times, but what are you going to do about this? Do you have an idea of how long you will wait before you reverse this mess?

Caravanshaka · 09-18-2009, 01:38 PM

the vossen concaves aren't done yet, or I already would have...

I would say go with a thinner stripe but thats just me I suppose. Just enough to accent the edge of the rim, to pull your eye from the car to the rim.

It will look great once you have a drop on there...not saying it doesnt look great now.

the pinstripe is pretty small, not nearly as large as the photochopped pics. I prefer the thin pinstripe as well

Drop is already done btw, and I've already got tires ready to mount up, just waiting patiently (I've been told TOO patiently a million times now) for the wheels.

since the rim is all black and tires are black too.

the white pin stripe will look like white wall tire...lol
like those senior citizen mobiles.....ha

I happen to enjoy classic cars and a good whitewall tire

nogoodname · 09-21-2009, 10:33 AM
