pics dont work for me but i just followed ur img link to the site. some sick SICKK cars there. i wish i lived closer to California :? That cadillac H2 conversion is unreal. it looks top notch. whats everyone else think?

[TT]

You have to link to jpg extensions, not to html

[ghost rida]

I'm sorry.
Now should be working:

edited by TT -> pics put in the first post ;) easier to see them :)

[Jabba]

DAMN...They are some of the nicest photos I have ever seen...I don't like the wheels on the Enzo though....

[hemi_fan]

Very nice photos. The rims on the first lambo look like they are cut out of pop cans, so thin! but the rest of the cars looked pretty sweet!

[SFDMALEX]

Whata fuck is up with the ugly rims on the Enzo???????? Why would anyone change the rims on the Enzo??? The car is beautiful as is and they put some ugly rims on it?????? And whats up with the Murc??? Some new gangsta rims on it also???

Sorry, but I cant stand this.

[DeMoN]

yeah, using the enzo as your avatar, and not agreeing on the rims... I believe ya lol

[ghost rida]

Here are the same rims in chrome, perhaps you like it better. Or is original unbeatable in case of the Enzo?

[TT]

IMO the Enzo doesn't like some bling bling rims.. they're completly wrong on it ...

[SL55 AMG]

WOW great pics thanks...however i think many of the cars were in a way massacred by the rims the Enzo :cry: IMO thats terrible and the rims on what i believe it was a Orange McLaren F1 <== if so anymore pics id appreciate

Thanks again though sweet pics

STOP PLEASE.


Fucking morons......Only some tasteless, classless gangsta wannabe rapper could put these UGLY DISGRASFUL rims on it.

No real car enthusiast would ever put these things on an Enzo. If I had a gun and I could shoot the guy who did this, I'd shoot him in his knee cap, so the fucker could suffer like he never suffered before.

Who the FUCK put these ugly ass rims and an aftermarket wheel on a Macca????

Im honestly gonna cry, these mother fucking rappers are ruining the all time classics!!!!!!!

[hemi_fan]

Yeah, cuz u know its all rappers and gangsters at the SEMA show!! they should rename it the ghetto show!! seriously now take it easy guys. Rims are just bolt-on accessories. If you really dont like them, then go buy the car and bolt the originals back on. I dont mind them because it makes the car stand out over others of the same model. Maybe a bit impractical weight wise on these cars but who cares, they're just sitting in a showroom anyway. You guys act like someone cut up the cars, put some Type-R badge on it, converted it to FWD and welded a huge spoiler onto the roof. I cant believe ud freak out like that, kinda childish if i do say so.

[ghost rida]

Here as wished some more pics of the orange McLaren F1:

I just find it wrong, even if they are bolt on accesories. Let me give you another example of this. In Ukraine I lived in Lviv(a city) its a beautiful ancient city with architecture like no where else. And the fuckers from the city hall give permission to advertisers to put ad's and huge billboards on some of the best buildings in the city, when they can always put it somewere else. Yes they are "bolt on" things but it kind of kills the whole picture doesnt it? We got something thats hundreds of years old with a big Coca-Cola ad on it. Same goes for the cars. The McLaren is one of best ever road legal cars produced, and there are only 70 or so of them. Maybe I'm wrong, but if a car was produced in such small quantites and developed a huge image over the years of its existance, I'd keep it as original as possible. Putting some new chrome rims on it, is like an insult to McLarens disagners.


P.S Whats up with tire brands here? Nitto rubber on a Macca? LOL That rubber is so cheap it will probably colapse at 280kph. But who care's ehh? Its not like these rappers drive these cars anyway. They only get them cause they cost a couple of million.

Ferrari 360 with Toyo tires??? Or is Toyo better then Michelin and Pirelli these days???

[twboy1999]

when i saw that enzo a week back i thoght to myself what an dumbass, why would they put such an ugly rims on the enzo

2 me, it is still super ugly, but it turns out it is a super light weight wheels, i dunno how much it weight, but it look heavy IMO.... the name of the company that made the rim is Giovanna.. the owner spent 1.5 million u.s on that car

how i know that? my friend's friend went to SEMA.. and he is one of only few authorized distributor in Canada for Giovanna

Did you happen to see this:

Can you say, "Hello darwin, I'd like to be DOA".

How could any one in their right mind be dumb enough to buy these? I sure hope no one who does drives anywhere near me.

Little tech: They are made of pure titanium, no alloys(structural rigidity, what structural rigidity).

[Chaos in 1983!]

The rims on the McLaren don't look that bad...I kinda like them...but those on the Enzo look horrible, but hey they're just rims, you can change them anytime you want.

How about this McLaren with aftermarket rims...looks cool too....

You actually think that Ferrari would not put the lightest wheels possible on the car already? I understand that when the McLaren was made they may not had the materials to make the wheels as light as they make em today, but the Enzo is a new car and trust me it has the lightest wheels todays technology can offer in stock form.

Heres another!

[f0racer]

SH*T! Talk about high end tuning! Great pics!

[PaulGT2164]

geez guys lighten up..just rims..nothing more... =)

[Vansquish]

Actually it's not a Cheetah, it's a replica of a 65 Cobra Daytona made by Factory Five Racing, the yellow car is a GTM-200 Mulsanne (another Factory Five creation), you can see both at http://www.factoryfive.com/ The white car was not designed by NASA, it is something called the Vision K2, powered by a twin turbo Corvette ZR1 V8 producing a claimed 800bhp.

[hemi_fan]

ah yes vanquish, i can see the differences between the cars. Ive never seen the Cobra Daytona before, and I remembered seeing the cheetah on carsinbarns.com so thats y i thought it was it. Plus they look very similar. The hood gives it away though.

[Vansquish]

Yup, the Cheetah is considerably more rare, and actually, if you look at the proportions, it's rather odd looking. The rear end is really truncated, very abrupt and rounded, and the passenger cell is almost on top of the rear wheels, whereas the Daytona has much more classic sportscar proportions, something like the Ferrari 250 GT0. It was one of the first vehicles ever to feature a lip spoiler on the bootlid (if you can really call it a bootlid).

[stradale]

I'm with SFDMALEX here. The wheels on the Murciélago, Enzo, 360, McLaren, Vanquish etc. are just wrong. Of course people can do with their cars what they like. To me it still is an insult to the designer and manufacturer of these cars though. Those wheels don't match the character and style of the car itself. It's like a beautiful classy lady with a 3 inch ring through her nose. The people responsible for this just like ugly chrome wheels. Usually they put them under Escalades or whatever. Suddenly they can get their hands on a thoroughbred and do exactly the same. Such a shame. It makes me sick...

[FoxFour]

Sorry, but I cant stand this.

They are probably hoping that some rap star or NBA playa' would walk by and check 'em out. Personally, I wan't to see some Sprewell's on an Enzo. j/k :lol:

[flavio]

My day has been terrible but after this pictures, it change at all. Thank God we have TUNING!!!!! :D
