Mini Photoshoot | calcul8 / vodkarocket

So, I'm selling my custom painted OEM 17's and calcul8 came by to try on the shoes on his DG sedan. How do you guys think they look? As a newbie to modding, he'd like your opinions on how the wheels look on his car. Don't suggest a drop as he wants to retain the OEM feel and more importantly ground clearance...He's got a few interesting mods up his sleeve, I just hope I can convince him to keep these 17's on instead of the standard OEM 17" 7-spokes.

Enough BS, onto the pics:

These are the OEM 17's he's coming from:



And this is what my gloss black 17's look like on his sedan:

I love that black roof. I'm sure it's just painted unless he has tons of $$ to spend on having a custom-made glass roof. And it looks like (see pic 2) that there's still a sunroof there. So, painted I'd say. None the less, that looks insane. I'm not diggin either of the wheels though personally.

like Boris said, I was just trying on the shoes to see how they'd look, and so that you guys could see what they looked like on a car, instead of just in his garage.

codeflux: the tinting is coming soon, 30-35% all around. due to the lighting at the shoot, my car looks like it's LP. but it's actually DG

sjc1789: yea, Boris' rims are jaw dropping - these pics do not do them justice.
