sure they may be old, but how many wheels do you know of that come with a 3 year warranty on their finish, and even though theyre getting along to being 6-7 years old now, still manage to cost over 300USD per wheel (some places want 4800USD for a set of 4 :O ) not to mention their load rating is more then enough for a camry (they take potholes left right and center easy, these have been used for about 5 years, maybe more and are still 100% round), and fit without any spacers or guard rolling.

they look fucking awesome rollin' though.

i could say something about your wheels though too, every 5th car here has them/something very similar (double spoke deisgn with cut machined face).

if theyre worth so much you could sell them and buy something different. If you like them its totally cool, just a thought- your drop is so nice that the car would really be complemented with some sportier wheels, but again, to each his own

nice tint.

i got them for free on the basis that i use them, so i use them...although im 1/2 sec slower to 60mph it handles way better then the cheapies i got on my 15" steelies.

and uhhhhh i dont have front window tint. its jut that the other tint makes less light get inside so it just looks dark.

Na don't do it yourself cuz usually if your not a professional in this section it can lead to disaster in the near future to your car such as the disgusting looking bubbles and tearing crap tint papers off your windows which loooks UGLY. So its better if you pay a real pro to do it.

Back to the topic nice pic of your car and damn haha just looking at your pictures makes me feel like im in summer again >_> instead its freezing rain and snow here at the moment. Those rims looks ok.. but I would sell those and maybe get some nice black rims to match your color of your car. Crome just doesnt match with it. But overall nice car and tinted windows.

I dont think he is trying to put other people down, It looks as if he is limited on funds, and was wondering if he could acheive the look of your tinted windows by just purchasing Inexpensive Gila tint from Wal-Mart rather than spending a couple hundred to have it professionally done.

Tinting is difficult, But to answer the question, Yes if you know someone that is good at tinting, The Cheap Gila tint at Wal-Mart can look that good, as long as it is done correctly by an experienced tinter.

I didn't say that he was putting anyone down, just in the way it was written, it could be taken to mean more than one thing.
