I can't critique your photo or car, but I can say you're photo posting skills could use some work. At least with respect to being able to view the photo on a mobile device.

As a Graphic Designer and Pullitzer Prize winning photographer, I feel qualified to chime in here:
Let's take a look at your photo:
First impressions: I love your use of free space. You didn't clutter the frame like so many other people who get a sub 1k DSLR and believe they are Ansel Adams reincarnate. The use of gray and neutral blue tones doesn't blow out the highlights of your text message. I'd like to compliment you on your use of Calibri. Most people are still stuck in an Arial haze. You're definitely pushing the envelope and staying with the hottest font trends. All in all I believe your framing is good. Rule of thirds has been applied by keeping the text to the left, and your photo definitely invokes a feeling of subtlety. It didn't just jump out and yell "HEY! LOOK AT ME!". Conversely, it made me WANT to look deeper into the photo. To find the edges. To check the punctuation. You sir, definitely have an eye for fantastic photos. Keep up the great work!
And not to blow my own horn, but since we're sharing our portfolios in a public forum, here is the photo that brought me the 2007 "Achievements in Photojournalism" award from the International Academy of Master Photographers. I was just free rolling with my Canon 5D and captured this utterly raw display of human emotion. It was truly just me being in the right place at the right time. I doubt I will ever capture something so pure, so animalistic, and I feel blessed to have framed that moment for all posterity. Shot at F 2.4, 1/600 Shutter speed, 400 ISO. Post processed in Light room for normal color correction. I hope you like it.

Try hosting it on a photo sharing site.
Car looks good. Dig the wheels, lip, stance, don't dig the grill. IMO go all black.

They don't list the concave option, but they do offer it on that model for custom orders. The rims are stamped "Rennen". There is no doubt as to the brand. I bought them new.
