So it's my B-day, I got the Car tinted, Need Wheels...

Finally Got Mortis some sun Glasses... Got tired of feeling like I was driving around in a fishbowl. Went To Bellevue Auto Tint, Jim did a great job. Johnsons Insulator Ceramic Film @30%. Great Stuff...





It's got an interesting sort of reflectivity from certain angles... Mostly it blocks A LOT of heat.





Now then, Wheels.... I really want to get the factory Run Flats and wheels off of the thing. I'm trying to find a lightweight wheel that does cost $1k a piece. Will probably be going to a 19" wheel, with Continentals Conti Sport 3s.

But Having a rough time deciding on the "Look"... I keep thinking Black wheels would be the way to go, I like the look, but Just haven't made a decision yet.

Here's kind of what I am thinking...


Or with the "red stripe"


I dunno, the more I look at the dark wheels, the more I am thinking of a Grey or Gunmetal VS Black.

Although I was thinking some 13" Gold Spoke Wire Wheels and some AirBags might be just the tickets... orale vato... Take it down in the weeds, lowrider style...
