New shoes on...matte black 19"

Well...after debating whether or not to go the matte black route... I figured I would test the waters with some low priced reps. Figured if I didn't like them...I could easily sell them for like $100 less than I paid for them.

I actually like them.



















I meant to weigh them before installing them last night. Totally forgot. Doh.

Yep.... It was a no-brainer at that price. Very pleased with them. Yeah, I'm sure they're not the lightest kicks on the street...but they'll work for me.

My 18's are 27.2lbs for the fronts.

I can't tell from your pictures, but are you thinking of adding small spacers on the fronts?

My rears are hella flush, I want my fronts to match!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I went out for about 15 minutes to run some errands to find parts for another car I'm working on...and at both places I stopped, I had someone come up and make compliments as well. Guess it was the right call to go black.

I guess Wesley Snipes was right in whatever movie that was where he said, "Always bet on black..."

Not sure about spacers...haven't really thought about that too much.
