Everytime I look at your pictures it makes me so glad I went with CGM! Nice car and great pictures! What kind of Camera do you have?

MikeBing · 01-12-2010, 08:49 PM

Thank you all! I actually don't use photoshop, I just use iPhoto on my mac. And I don't have any kind of legit camera, it's just a Canon Powershot SD750 (a small handheld camera, 7.1 megapixel I believe). You just have to know how to use it I suppose haha. The wheels are gloss black, powder coated. Make note that neither the car nor the wheels were clean. If properly cleaned, the wheels would be perfectly glossy.

look great!! i think i would have done matte black on the rims to match the stripes and finish dechroming the car...

I'm in college station, which I suppose is relatively close. I was staying with a friend in San Antonio and we made a trip to eat at Gristmill in Gruene (highly recommend that place, it's amazing), and I took some pictures while I was there.

Ah you arent too far away, maybe about 2 hours.
Nice car btw!

Man - next time I am in CS I'll have to meet up with you. I've got a couple of buddies that still live up there and I go to watch a game from time to time. Love to see those rims in person

Looks good! How dark is your window tint?

I'm fairly certain my side windows are 25% and 20% in the back. It's been a while, and I don't feel like walking out to my car haha (it's in a parking garage. 10 minute round trip).

Nice pix, I was looking for CGM with painted factory wheels. I plan on doing this soon and wanted to see what it looked like. I assume I can get black lug nuts too. I want it all black on mine. Will have to drive down next football season - Boomer Sooner
