OMG your car looks so proper with those wheels. I'm assuming they're TE37's? I shouldn't have to ask but so many people making replicas now days.

Actually IIRC, I think they are replica's (nothing against the op, I think they look good on his car). I think they're called Apollo's

Thankyou
Yup there are so many replicas now a days, and my rims are one of them.
I had been thinking about redoing the car, and adding a kit, new wheels, etc. but I then got into photography and all my funds have been going towards that. I get more satisfaction from it than from modding my car.

Oh god you bought back my old ugly pictures! I didn't start getting into photography untill 4 months ago, those ugly ones are just from a plain old compact camera!

No offense taken, i don't try to pass them off as real. they're knock offs. Although I've been asked so many times if they are varrostoens and when i say they are apollo's they're like what? so i have just been saying yes they're varrostoens haha.

Thankyou, I took it with my Canon 60D, with a Canon 24-70mm 2.8L lens I shot @ 43mm wide open aperature. It a composite made up of 3 different photos so it looks properly exposed.

1st was exposed for the sky and sun
2nd was exposed for the car
3rd was exposed for the shadow, wheels and other dark areas

Then put them together in photoshop, tweak levels, and this is what you get .

Heres the camera

Just get it, It is soo sharp! I was so hessitant on spending that much on a lens, but I think its really worth it, and really shows on the RAW files.
