On a mineral white car, I find it very hard to capture the huge wide tyres on 20in+ wheels. It looks so aggressive in person but the contrast between the white paint and the dark pieces causes the wheels (and grills/CF bits) to look like blobs of black which isn't the case.

to be honest i have only been using my iphone. I have a sony rx100m3 which I need to try to use more.

To add to above, your pics above do a very good job in capturing the actual way the gloss grills look. most posted pics of others don't do it justice. it is actually less 'black' and more reflective/glossy than most pics as your pics illustrate

I know what you mean. Those are 335/25/22's in the back but they don't look wide at all in the pics. In person they look amazing from the massive width that they are.

Heres a pic i purposely edited to show the tires more. Even then they just look like normal tires lol

30% for the fronts. The factory rears are 15% according to my tint guy. I didn't want to go that dark up front just incase if my wife needs to take the car out and it becomes a safety issue for her.

Gloss black would have been nice too but typically I'm not a black wheel kinda guy. I like to see my wheels.

Hey Alan, Nice detail! I really like the subtle red line at the front lip, where did you get that?

Alan, your truck looks great. I saw it at the Rallye event and it really stood out. Nice job. Very clean looking.
