Your car is absolutely gorgeous. Keep it classy!

My only critique is that I think you probably should have removed the radar detector from the front windshield. For the sake of photo composition, not ethical/legal reasons. I don't care if you have one that I know a few of our members would take issue with you about your choice.

The grass is fine. Gives it a unique look and a pop of vibrant color.

Since you are pimped out to Fitted Wheels, you might want to change your signature. Your friend's not getting his money's worth.

Way to go!

Thanks blnewt! These wheels and tires were just for this photoshoot and aren't my actual wheels! Just doing a photoshoot for a friend that needed cars to put on his website and brochure. I am still rocking the Avant Gardes. The tire specs are 275/35/20 rear and 255/35/20 front. The wheels are 20 x 9 front and 20 x 10.5 rear. I definitely know how you feel about black trim haha and I really appreciate it. Glad to see it all come together finally.

Yeah we had a few pics on the road but this one was mostly on the grass. The photographer and the wheel designer both wanted pics in the grass so I let them have it!

Just... not to you, is all.

I suspect the OP can live with that.

In compromise to your on-the-lawn pearl clutching, I actually think this is the best photo in the bunch... although I probably would have lined up the FITTED logo in the center cap so it was parallel to the ground.

You know, any way you cut it, these are 15-spoke rims. But if you focus on the design, they're really 3-split 5-spokes. Either way, the more you look at them, the more appealing they become.

Nice wheels.

I agree with you Rochester. That picture where the wheels are on the road is one of the better pics. It just looks right which I'm sure you know what I mean! Thanks!

Thanks man! Yeah after looking at these pictures I realized I should have gotten the front tints done the same. I kept them Nebraska legal limit just so there wouldn't be any hassle but now I should have just done it haha

I only had these wheels on for this shoot just to help him promote his wheels on his website and brochures since he is a upcoming company. After the shoot my Avant Garde's were put back on!

Nah sorry Black Betty. Unfortunately I don't have that information but let me see if I can find that out for you.

It should be a no brainer! Definitely pull the trigger on the sedan!

Thanks guys! Yeah the rotors are something you definitely don't see everyday which is why I got them and the stopping power is on point!
