Pimping

 

[Trixie]

I know, right Steve? I saw them in the catalogue, said they're kinda pimp for me, but then saw them in person without tires on them and kinda liked them. At home they look way too pimp for me if I'm not in pimping mood.

There just isn't anything out there right now that I really liked.

And isn't the back end sitting up way too high?

I added a poll, cause I can do things like that when it involves my own car and I'm stressed.

I think if you go to the south side of Chi Town they will love them
And the rear does look high, i thoguht you were censored lowered.

I was looking a little closer this morning. I think they may have recognized a potential interference and adjusted the sensor back to stock height not realizing it was intentionally lowered. We might have to get the lip rolled. We still have John's lower profile lip trim that makes room for wider wheels which I will install tonight.

Plus the pasenger side of the car sits higher. Or at least the fender lip is higher by about 1/2". The other side looks where a sensor lowered car should be. I always felt the driver's side looked a little low.

I told Sharon if she finds something else she likes that we can put these on my car. Every wheel looks good on a red car.

I believe that the word you were looking for is sensor.

However, censor might also apply in this case, in a different way.

And we are talking about my rear end. Unfortunately, due to gravity, I'd be asking the opposite question.

 

[Mike P]

I don't like them, sorry

Where'd you find them? they look pretty good, well black car with chrome rims you can't go wrong. I think they'd look terrible on any other color, good choice.

...well black car with chrome rims you can't go wrong.

I voted they were OK, but mostly for the reason above. I liked the black Town Car with the chrome FR500s from the Blue Flame. Looked more 'sporty' than 'pimpin'.

Now the 24" chrome wheels on the black Navigator... they are big time pimpin'. LOL

24" on anything is big time pimpin'.

Besides, what is so bad about pimpin'?

Are you guys moving to South Chicago ?

 

[mlschultz]

Very nice, Sharon and Mike! :thumbsup:

The thing about custom wheels is it is soo dependant on personal taste. You pretty much only have 2 basic styles to pick from. It is either some varient on the 5-Spoke, a web design like the FR 500's, or a plethora of "other" designs. So it is either be safe and get what everyone else has or be different.
