I nitpick tires constantly. $6k into some custom wheel setup, buys HanKumLinglongFuzionDeltas to wrap them with. Horrible. ---

I don’t mind the wheels, not big on black on black but the car looks sick. I think a C2S front bumper would look great on this thing. totally agree. Currently saving up for one, and a wing of some sort. Haven’t decided on that just yet. Maybe duck bill. Not sure. > [@Norb O](#): > > if he’s not racing the car or driving aggressively, who really gives a shit? LOL seriously.

Horrible. This wheel setup is far from $6k. It’s about half. And regardless they’re nankangs. I went with tires I had to make sure I knew what sizes I needed before I dropped good coin on good tires. They’re fucking tires lol, the car will never see the track EVER. I have way to much money into it to slam it into a wall or some shit. It’s just for cruising around and enjoying. Yes at some point they will get a better tire but I’m not concerned with it as it was a trial and error situation. ---

Seems to make perfect sense to me, shitty wheels with shitty tires…Ok I kid. I’m with the crowd of people who aren’t feeling those wheels but can’t argue with anything else about the car. And I sure as hell don’t have anything better to offer so kudos to you for the work you’ve done thus far. ---

I think it needs some tire stickers. A set of Bridgestone Good Years would be sweet. Black lettering of course On an unrelated note. If you squint while looking at the picture, the car to the left of the guy in the blue had looks like a spoiler. ---

I personally like the look of these wheels on the car and if you do as well, fuck it and keep rocking them Steve. This thing is a black beauty. I need to check this thing out soon as well but that Gallardo is top priority for me lol. ---
