slow no matter what camera you use. A better picture would have been you 2 fishing the SHO out of the water because you forgot to put the E brake on.

I didn't get the PP wheels, I got the ones that looked like a Fusion only larger, The paint was chitty from day one and had black primer showing through in several spots so I chucked them.

If I had gotten the PP wheels, I would have kept them and just got it powder coated.

In that case... your wheels > the non PP wheels.

Damn good looking cars, I'd love to drive one. If they were larger inside, I would own one.

Ride quality, and the reason I still feel it is the most comfortable car I have ever driven or rode in. Thats why they arent an inch bigger, that and I just swapped the tires that were on it to the new rim they were practally brand new.

I don't want to screw this car up like I did my truck, I almost hate to drive it anywhere but the track.

Good point, I didn't think about that. Are you gonna do any sort of mild mods like exhaust and intake or anything?

Never noticed, but the TSW's kinda do look like TC wheels only with a little more lip and studded for 2 piece.

Maybe midpipe delete and some catbacks or a single di do muffler in the middle then strait out the back, dunno I want to keep it quiet they have 3 mufflers and 4 cats on it right now and its quiet just the way I like it. Besides, its a V6 and sounds like GN's or Cyclones if its loud from the video's ive seen and I dont like that sound. As far as the intake, maybe when something hits the market thats not just an open filter for 500$ and actually replaces some of the cold side piping. Biggest bang for the buck is tuning right now, but Its under warranty and i'm not in the mood to void it right now.

The wheels arent as popular or liked as I thought theyd be.

I knew that already, everyone wants to see twankies or twanky twanks on big cars. I don't want something that rides like a block wagon.

My only thing is they look kinda small on the car and generic looking. If they were powder-coated black they would look a lot better too I think.

BTW I absolutely cannot stand black wheels, that has been overdone like Parris Hilton.

I'll second that. Ultimately, you go with what you like. All too often people lack enough vision to decide on thier own so they do what the masses say.

Depends on the color of the vehicle IMHO. I think chrome would look best on my truck while I dont think chrome would look good at all on the car. I think polished or brushed aluminum would look good but I think black wheels would look best on the car.

I personally think Randys wheels look great.

The wheels aren't bad. I think it would look better if the back was lowered an inch to level the car out.
