Smile ShangoAshe got some new shoes! (Third Time's the Charm!)

Hey guys,

So I finally got my new 360 Forged Concave 10's last week. Since I had a good experience with my Spec5ives which are also from 360 Forged I decided to buy wheels from them again.

These are the third set of rims I've purchased for this car and I can finally say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Although there's still slight rubbing issues, I will get them sorted out hopefully this friday! (Some more rolling of the fenders!)

Oh, and my side skirts from Wald will be here in a week or two so that's something else I'm looking forward to seeing installed!

Here are some pictures I took with the iPhone!

Tires: Verdestein Ultrac Sessentas
20x9 et45 (Front) 255/30/20
20x10.5 et35 (Rears) 285/25/20

nice stance

the rear looks dialed in perfectly and the fronts look like they might be able to come out just a tad. do you have an a$$ shot to show off the stance?

I love the looks but IMO the car is too low unless you have electronic lowering module and can raise it...also 30 and 25 series can easily lead to bent rims. I would go 245 40 and 275 35 and raise it up a bit to fit them, much less chance of damage

Ive called about 3 rim shops in my Baltimore area. I can get a set of 22's for about 1600 per rim without tires.

I paid $1590 per rim for my Asanti's AF120 just because I purchased a couple sets before from the same shop, I bought a set of 5 just in case one bends or cracks. And Tires were cheap off of tire-easy.com for 24's I have vogues. I know they dont last but they look amazing.

Are you trying to make me look dumb or something?

This is the correct site. http://tireeasy.com/

and they are located in

Delticom North America
1306 NW Hoyt St., Ste. 304
Portland, OR 97209

and vogues do not stop at 22's.
clear proof of a vehicle on 28s vogues. at the time he had the only 28s now they make them for the public.
-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NdZUz0C4jo

and here are some vogues on that site I mentioned above.
http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.p...ort=P&dsco=135

I plan to get these for that flipper benz I have since the tires are ****ty

Thank you for your time buddy

hi there, yeah the youtube link you posted are customized tires. Not real Vogues. The Tire Surgeon makes "fake Vogues" here is another video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w9Qk...eature=related

I am genuinely Interested in authentic 24 inch vogues, wasnt trying to make you sound stupid...

I couldnt find 24 inch Vogues at the store you posted above. Please do post pics and the price.

I see their 16 inch Vogue is $254 each at the site you linked, which is really expensive. Other dealers sell the 16s for $160-170
