Very bold.
I would hesitate to do it on my personal vehicle but it looks very exciting!

Thanks for sharing!

Bold for certain. Not sure if the setup, blood red contrasting wheels with the morbid backdrop (cemetery), is trying to evoke a certain theme.

Those are the wheels I will be ordering just in 21's. Mass roads are not as friendly as the south. Need to decide on finish. Are those fully polished or just the lip?

9/10.5 Will be our recommendation in either 20" 21" or 22" with 245/285 tires.
