Lightbulb Took pictures of my car today...56k warning! (got new rims!)

Ok, today I got my new rims, so I cleaned up my baby and took her all around Sarasota for photo shoots. Here are some of my favorites:

Down By The Bay;


And Then There Were Clouds;


On The Rocks;


Make A Wish;


Fill Her Up;


Freshly Mowed;


Don't Look Down;


Room With A View;


Who Set The Clouds On Fire;


You're Crushing My Torso;


Ok, how you guys like them? Oh yah, like the rims too?

They are the gunmetal ones...lol

Here are the ones I bought:


For some reason, they arent as dark as I thought they would be. It depends on what the light is like though, the darker it is, the more gray they look. They are the 18"x8.5" rims too.

Nice. Now that you say that they are I can see the gray. But that is really funny that I said that. I like the fire cloud pic. What a perfect background.

Nice work on the photography, alot of great angles. The building glass reflection is my favorite. The wheels look great, just needs a drop.

Great pics. I especially like the one in front of the old gas station. Any chance you can make them 1024X768. They would make a great wallpaper or screensaver pic.

Nice looking wheels. How heavy are they? My experience with Konigs are that they're a bit on the heavy side.

Why do you ask? It looks normal to me.


The car looks awesome, and I again would like to complement your photography skills, the pictures look amazing.

I love the rims, and the suspension is just fine the way it is, leave it.

In pics 1,6, and 9 you can see that the silver is a darker hue..and they are all in different lighting. It is the passenger quarter and follows right up underneath the door to where the fender ends/begins (depends what way you look at it )

I'm not being a dick here, just wondering. I think the pics are beautiful, just that stuck out big for me.
