    I like it. Very simple. They don't draw attention away from the rest of the car

    That looks a thousand time better now that the rear has been brought down. Are those color pics or black an white...LOL !
     
  21. Mixed. I love the look of bias plys on open fendered rods. I like your steelies and caps better, but I love how those old cookie cutter lookin' bias plys looked!

    I likes the old wheels and tires, but it looks good with the new ones just a different look and its a matter of preference, if you are stoked thats all thats important- also looks great with the new stance (ass end down)! lets go cruise!
