New shoes give it a sinister look, before it looked dated. I like it

Damn, What a big difference. Love the new look. Old school looks great also.

Are those 18's?

Love the new wheels but need a little larger tires. IMO

Re: Since I needed tires, why not
i think the old rims look better myself only for the agressive look they give. and that i like more but if you are going for the more classy look then new are vary nice just a little more rubber in the back i think
