Default New pics of "Daddy's new shoes"

Here's some new pics...





Ok, since no one took dibs on the HRE's, I'm sending them out to brush the centers somehow and rechrome the lips... SOOOO, I got a new set of temp wheels... We'll see how the HRE's turn out and I'll end up selling these in a month when I get the HRE's back. What do you guys think?

20" Lexion 201 Black w/ Machined Lip (rear acutally has a 3.5" lip!)
(My fast told me to do it!) {-.-}

Nice...
The black rims look good on white.

Call me baised, the Lexion's in black are a really clean look , especially with the amount of drop you have, but the 841's brushed are my choice.

I lost you when you said " since no one took dibs on the HRE's".





BTW - I have brushed 841's w / 20 x 11's in back.

It's very tough to match the Lexus white with pearl without blending the paint into the car
Temperature, moisture, and even static can change the color so that it doesn't match. I've going through this myself.

You're right... it is a tad off, I haven't had a chance to take it back yet, but they already agreed to take it back and re-shoot... the Blue pearl is VERY difficult to match.... We'll see how it comes out when I have a chance to drop it off again... maybe when my mileage starts climbing too high...

I had the HRE's for sale and no one took dibs on them... I figured I'd change them up a little and keep them... I don't know, but I will probably will get tired of the HRE's after a while and find something else... keep an eye out! you never know!!!

BTW.. you got some nice wheels too!

Yeah, I needed something to roll on while the HRE's are being refinished..... Can't go back to stocks now!

I like the wheels, but the 841s in brushed will look better
