VICTORY! at the cost of 220 and many days

BUT

if you go to my Isyron - Andrew Gehrke's Custom Garage on CarDomain - Spring, Texas car pictures and photos at CarDomain.com then you can see pics of the new additions. I think they look really clean, and they give me room to push the tires out some more, about an inch, like i have been wanting. seems befitting! now i need to figure out how to measure wheels x_X fun!

but yeah - for all of those who have been sticking along with me, thanks. got it done professionally, and it shows. got her home, washed and waxed, and took her out for a good drive. love it.

I would love to do the job, but i'd rather not mess something up, you feel?

So those are going on once i get them over to the shop. I'm about to go do that and find out about my spoiler addition. He wasn't sure the work involved, so i'm bringing him the instructions to quote me for.

They always like to give me a deal. The guy i'm talking with played phone tag for about a week or two LAST time my car was in the shop. He cut us a good price on things, then he charged price of the part ONLY when i waited around the shop for five or six hours on my window motor. Good time.

So in go the mods, and now i need help with rim decisions! EEK

--i've got a couple that i'm looking at now, and i dont know which i like more....

16x7.5 ICW 16x8 GEAR16x8 GEAR

I'm partial to the 2nd, the 1st being cheapest and the last two the same price more or less. Going on a sundown red pearl with black fender flares and black spoiler, and eventually some black pearl emblems. Let me know what yall think
By choosing from the pix, I'm partial to the top wheel or the bottom left.

It's hard to choose wheels from pictures in my opinion.

Because yu lose the 3D effect of the actual wheels design.

The 3rd wheel may look nicer because of the detail...but hard to really say for sure.

Honestly...all 3 will be nice on your HL.
It's a personal call.

I like this new Black/Polished look. The black makes it hard to trully seethe cuts of the design in a picture though.

The pic on the right has a little bit more of a lip, if you notice the corners. rolls up and in a little bit, and the center cap sticks out to the edge, if not a little outside.

The ICW, or 1st top pic, I have seen around the streets, and I dont really like the rolling effect, visually. it's like a visual 'click'. I think the chrome along the outside of the outside pic would cast a pretty cool floating appearance.

I agree it's kind of difficult to see based on these pics. I've had to do a lot of looking to see the pics on any vehicles at all. they all look pretty slick, but like i said - the rolling effect is still something to think about too.

Gotta stun 24/7, stopped or movin xD
