Looks good Vic. I have to say, I kinda like the burgandy centers. Definitely a different but cool look.

I was one of the few who thought the orange wheels on Ryan's old black car looked sweet!!

Looked even better with a front bumper Haha, it was much more driveable than my car in that pic though.

yes he did. we were stopped in a small town for no front license plate the night before so he zip tied the plate to the bumper there. the nose panel and bumper cover were pulled for paint that's why he had them off that weekend.

other pic of ryans car prior to nelson buying it

Haha, sorry Nelson. That was the only picture of it with those wheels I have. The pics that you and Vic posted do a lot more justice to show how clean your car is.

Can't wait to see the car in person Vic. I still haven't seen it with your new suspension setup.

just giving you a hard time, gabe! I think that Vic should go with the burgandy rims! Either that or re-do the interior in Orange!

I dont know what all the hate on the orange wheels is all about, I love it!

If I can find a good deal on a set of aftermarket wheels in a good size, I'm painting them Signal Green.
I've already done my stock phone dials in Signal Green, but I think a 17" or even 18" would play the roll better.

Oh my... I never thought of that. You must have the interior dyed orange!
I did drive the car with no bumper cover for a while. When the cop pulled me over for no front tag, he asked me if I knew why I was being stopped . I said "uh... I think I have a tail light bulb out", which was actually true. It caught him off guard a little though. I was given a warning and he said if he ever saw me without a front plate again he would ticket me. It was 1am, I'm sure he just wanted to see if I had been drinking.

Elliott - Love your friend's photographic skills and that Black and Green 951 looks stunning

Can you please provide some pictures for the RL 951/2 calendar mate of your red N/A (the front view) as this gets my vote - Stunning work
