Default Just some pics

While hanging out at the wheel shop, took lots of pics of some of the hot cars getting wheels put on. These 2 are regulars. The white Benz belongs to the owner, Tony. Seems like he has a new set of wheels on it every week. These are the 40K Auto Couture 22 inwheels that come with a free diamond watch. The Benz also has a full AC kit. The Bimmer in the showroom has a set of Asanti 20 inchers on. The place is called G-Roads, formerly known as Goodroads.

The S has some nice lines going for it.
The bimmer, not so much.

S is overdone, and the 3 is too low.

IMO, of course.

That S-Class is an exact copy of David Ortiz's (Red Sox) S-Class. Wheels, kit, everything.

What new wheels.....I don't have them yet. Still trying to decide what to get. I have until Tuesday to make a choice. I'm thinking about going cheap just to get something on the car then get something sweet later. I don't know. We'll see.

I also think the S is overdone but seeing it in person it's still sweet. I think with that kit the wheels should be a little more conservative but that's just me. I would also change those fender vents. I don't like them on luxo sedans.
The bimmer can be raised and it needs to be cause it doesn't look as good being that low. Plus, as much as I love chrome, they don't belong on a 3 series and especially a silver one.

I think the S-class looks fabulous. I think the 3 looks bland and not good on bags.

That S-class though, WOW!!!

While both are nice cars, their choice in mods aren't my cup of tea.

Both S-class's are almost identical (slightly different kit) but it's funny how just about everyone is giving this one praise but bashed Ortiz's earlier.

Everyone is giving this one praise? You need to look at the earlier posts again... I dont see that everyone is giving it praise, if by saying it is "overdone" is giving praise then by my comment, I am absolutely jocking that 3 coupe.

OK, maybe just a few. My mistake.

It looks like someone copied someone with this Benz though.
