Oh yeah, sorry. Those are the Iconz .

I believe you were kidding with your first post, right... The car looks great! We need another pics though.

I hate chrome as well. It does look ghetto and not to mention dated :thumbsdown: Your looks hot though with that setup. Good look with these NYC pot holes, and those rims.

I have mix feeling on the wheels, I seen a 7 series with some similar wheels and that really turned me off... but over all these wheels are hot... I guess I'll take it all in. I really miss my 166


Thx tho'

I am in the same boat. I hate the polished/chrome lips. I too kind it think it looks kind of ghetto. I have anthacite centers though so I think black lips would look funny. At least your centers are black! Anyway GL...

Since you asked; you've gone overboard and stepped over the threshold between cool and suave and instead it looks a bit vulgar. The wheels are too big and screaming "look at me" like a promiscuous lady offering her wares to any bidder.... The roof spoiler, while ok on it's own, is just too much in combo with the wheels and the 4 tips. The 4 tips on their own would also be good, so your car has a lot going for it, but the wheels are just too much. I bet you'll get a lot of street credit in some neighbourhoods, it just wont be mine!
