track wheels

Picked up some holies for next to nothing and decided to have a little fun them. Man, I love ugly track wheels!

I think I need some practice posting pictures. I don't quite have the hang of it yet.

Little hint for you, then: something I almost alwasy do is before submiting my post/reply, I always click on the "preview" button first, that way I see exactly how it would show up if I were to submit, and if I don't like the post then, I can change it in the same screen until I'm happy.

Just a little hint, of course - you don't have to do it.
Take care, and nice wheels by the way. lol
Leo.

paulie- turn your car so that the side of your car is facing the sun (or
light). if you don't have a filter, take picts when the sun is hiding behind
the clouds.

i am sure the photography guru DiD can provide much better tips than some
sub-regular joe like me.

Early morning/ early evening, low light is much better for "drama" than middle of the day, high contrast intense sun shots are. Just a tip from an amatuer.

Thanks guys, I can use all the help I can get . I new that it was mid day and that it wasn't a great time to take picture but I was in such a hurry to get some shots I just started shooting. I Don't think I will be adding any of these to my Gallery and will be scouting for locations soon. Hear is a shot showing how much of a hurry I was in. The car was barely off the floor jack.

Just the stock dunlop runflats that came with the the 06slites (trying to sell, anyone interested?). Only got 1200 mi on them wanna wear them out before I get new rubber. Any suggestions on what I should replace them with? I'm starting to get the feeling , from reading and experience, that I might want to get non runflats when the time comes............

Bbs Rc

I haven't seen any BBS RCs here, so here are mine. I actually wanted the RKs, but BBS just discontinued them to fit the Mini
