Looks clean!!! If you get tired of your Gold rims, you can trade them with my Black VS-XX, I think they are the same spec just color difference>

Thanks for the kind words guys

Gato, you know.... everyone on CL have a LOOONNNNGGGG future mod list but i am planning on getting a ABflug CF lip, black out the roof, get a better front grill. I have a L-tuned grill but after while I dont really like it anymore, thats why i am using the stock grill for now. And then I have planned out to do a system with a Pioneer Z1, probably after my finals, finals SUCKS!
But, lets pray for me, I hope I am not gonna spend all my money over the summer!!
Oh... and take off the helper springs off my Bilstein so I can drop the front a little more.

BlackSC400, I am actually thinking about one side black and keep the other wide Gold I know it sounds stupid and doesnt make any sense, but I am thinking you will never see both side of the car at the same time. Anyways, its just my though when I was bored detailing my car today. haha.

Actually, a friend of mine down in LA said he has seen this done on some cars, says it actually looks really good (one side they might have polished lip, the other side chrome, or even different colors of the same rim on either side).

Different color wheels or styles on each side will be the next big thing for shows especially. I have seen alot of cars already going brushed on one side and a color on the other etc.

Yup, i have seen 2 different set of wheels on each side too, but I am kind worrying about the weight differences will mess up the handling, thats why I am looking at same wheels with different color

I thought about it too, but the only thing is hard to sell the set later.

Thumbs up

Hey Ryan, good looking car, and even better after detailing. I am sure that pictures don't show the before or after look. I also have a White Expedition and I am in the same boat unless you physically see it in person.

The car is sweet and those Gold VSXX are a nice touch. I've been a fan of your car since we talked about the rims last year.

You get my vote for a sweet looking car.......

Cheers,
