nice wheels! to whoever's taking these pics may i suggest you reposition your lighting to shine on the car a bit more.
black does its best at hiding lines. this shot was during at night which doesn't help.

You werent there so you dont know how it was done... or the intent

Try a 20 second exposure time where the photographer walked by the car with a flourescent light in one time sweep.

If it would make any easier, I can remove all of my business info so this can serve as your discussion thread for this photoshoot. Let me know. Once those pictures hit FLICKR, its whoever posts them first.
