Night photo shoot e55 on drag wheel setup

Hey guys big delay on this photoset but happy to share a night photo shoot I did with a buddy of mine right after Weld RTS S71 wheel setup and Hoosiers

Quick setup notes:
18x8 fronts wheels
17x10.5 rear on a 315/35/17 hoosier DR

Car is lowered on links, suvneer front end, oem lower grille, euroteck diffuser

Let me know what you think!

Thanks guys! Yeah i drive this setup 100% of the time with the exception of when it rains (rare as hell in ca these days) but these wheels are the best ride quality and drivability I've had since I've owned the car with the added sidewall. it's always been on 19s or 20s.

First pic looks to have 2 ghosts from street lamps to the left in front of car, most likely caused by a UV filter.
But for the rest, excellent photography pro grade and the lighting is well done.

Car looks hot!

Setup looks sick dude! What were the offsets on those rims? I believe you had to have them custom made?

Man that first pick in front of bayside canning is beautiful. I saved it and I'm going to have a poster made. Great Photo and beautiful car.

Great shots. Doesn't that rear offset beat the **** out of the quarters when you launch at the strip?

Thanks guys! Ahmad - been wanting to build something else, I'll pm you. DVC - no the rears are flush and clear, when it's fully squated at the track they slightly tuck in. That said I have my fenders rolled flat and I'm not afraid of taking a hammer and a sawzall to it.

Two Torque Monsters...E55/Viper
Looks sooo sinister! Off topic from wheels, but not sure why the front grille with the badge (same as hood) bother me so much....there that got me to stop thinking about the wheels
