Default New Pics - New Wheels

I changed the wheels on my wife's car and wanted to post pics. The wheels are nothing special. I won't even say the brand name. My wife wanted something staggered with black face. I wanted to wait until my money was right for more expensive wheels but my wife thinks that's ridiculous. She asked if the price made a difference in the way the car rides. I couldn't lie. I told her that as long as the wheels are the right spec, the ride is the same. The look is what is important. Since black looks good even on cheaper wheels, wifey felt there was no reason to wait.
Comments about wheel quality are up to you but make no sense cause that's irrevelant. I'm just doing what we do, share pics of the rides.












I threw in a few of my car in too!

That's cool, wifey doesn't look at clublexus.
You aren't a fan of black wheels at all or just these black wheels?

it really doesn't look that bad on the black car but your ride is definitely cleaner looking.

I told wifey I would give her mine but she said no. She prefers 5 spoke black wheels.
I didn't like the wheels either but they are far from ugly. I just had to say that.

Here are pics of the wheels that were on my wife's car. I sold them to a friend. In this photo he's cleaning the ride with the cleaning products I sell. He's a good customer so I sold him the wheels super cheap. I like them better than the one's my wife has now but they were pretty beat up. My friend has gotten them fixed up.
