Good idea. I did find a set of BMW rims that I really like with the same bolt pattern and staggered the same but the offset is 20mm lower which seems like too much.

It's just a wrap, but I do like the added trim to make the wood look like panels.

Still, even as a wrap, that's a very expensive joke.

Chrome on a vehicle is for old men.

Ah woops, didn't mean to infer the same fella.

Different cars, just each have V8 transplants. Albeit Pat's M62 4.4 is less sacrilege...

I saw this model of car (2016 Buick Regal lol) in the Safeway parking lot, and I love the wheels. They won't fit though unfortunately.



I've seen similar aftermarket, but nothing so beefy looking.

May be hard to find, but OEM 20" on an aforementioned CT6 Platinum

Probably been covered before, but a classy, appropriate tint percentage?

4 door German sports sedan, no tint on any windows currently.

I prefer to have it uniform all around (aware of the legalities) or maybe, maybe a touch lighter on the front two windows.

20%, 30%? Less, more? Not looking for limo tint.

Plot twist: He'll have NO IDEA who it's from and assume cam_wmh is just really in a sour mood that day.

Someone explain to me who the customer is for the Chrysler 300s. I don't understand it.

I like 20% personally, dark enough to look nice but not so dark that it's annoying. Also think it looks best when all windows have the same shade rather than darker on the back, but that's just a personal thing

I thought that I'd come up with a clever quip and checked to see when Chrysler ended production... Joke's on me; they're still making them!

In that case, I can only assume there are two buyers - rental fleets and people that care so little about cars and see some sort of lease deal and can muster as much as a limp "oh, why not"
