    In the ghetto.... On a cold and grey Finksville morning etc etc.
    Much as I love my wide whites, I have been toying with the idea of a slightly more "60s" look to go with the metal flake paint for the coming year and a little voice inside my head has been screaming "Vogues!!!" And after a visit from Santa and a trip to the tyre fitters, I'm glad I listened to it. I know they are radials, and I know they belong on Cadillac's, but what the hey. "just don't mess wit' ma bitches!!!"
    Paul

    ps.the scallops are pinstriped in gold too

    they look great...doing what you want is what it's all about.
    Your panel has enough "themes" going on with it to get away with doing anything.
    Your panel IS your Cadillac, so all's good.

    Man I live in the hood and see Vouges daily. That's the first time I've seen them on something that looks right. Good call man and that's a nice ride.
     
  4. Prefered it how it was Paul, but it still looks hot!! Happy new year to all at the Hideaway!

    I agree, they look great!! Not to mention it makes this IttyBitty KripFink easier to do the wheels.

    I didn't know you could get whitewalls with a thin gold stripe on them.... That's pretty neat!! I love it! :D

    Who cares if they're radials. I've always liked those on caddys, they look great on your ride.

    Don't worry Tim, I still have the wide whites and New Yorker ' caps, I'm just letting my inner "gangsta" out to play for a while. Going to get me a floppy pink fur hat next:D.
    Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you to dude.

    Good to see you on Boxing Day. If you are going for a gangsta look with the new wheels maybe we should do a new shoot with that graffiti wall in the background!

    I love Vogue's! Expensive fuckers though, excellent quality. I had a set on my 72 Monte for a while, good grip, excellent tread life and quiet too. Love the gold stripe (my car is brownish-gold so they matched well too) and all the verbiage on the sidewall. "Custom Built Tyre"

    I think they look good! Is the ride any different?
     


  20. Don't forget to put a feather in your pink hat.... you get no respect from your 'hoes if you got no feather!


    New wheel / tyre combo makes a fresh change and you have the option to change back when you done pimpin :D

    We can't, but there's a guy on Epay in the states, that was willing to ship worldwide. Sight unseen is a scary thing, but I think I got lucky this time round!

    we haven't put many miles on them yet, but they seem to ride really smooth and very very quiet!
