Default Check Your Boy Out...Sittin On 20's!

That's right i made that move, and i know these wheels(EXE Konkave silver) are not for everyone but i love them! Also they are different from what everyone is rolling on here in the ATL, i wanted to stay classy without looking like a copy cat or tasteless. My friends help me put them on after work, then we headed to the very top of the parking deck for a photo shoot (just 4 us) and now for the pics! One of my friends had his camara too, so i will post some more shots after i get them from him. I fine with whatever opinons you may have, i'm very happy with how they turned out.

Before




After













Group shots (Audi A4, LS430, GS430)








Thx for looking!

Nice pictures Clean and crisp. Glad you picked a wheel you liked. Style is a little too young for me.

looks good. i would have liked a staggered look instead of a narrow rear tire like that, but with that wheel i don't think you had the option. it does look good though.

Looking Sharp. Why does the GS430 have 98-00 tails?

The 98-00 tails are cleared out (yellow signal tint removed). I like the look of the red and white with the black cherry color of the car better than the all red of the 01' tails.
