To most people they still are unnatainable. Luckily, most of us snatched ours up when they were neglected like little baby Jesus in the manger on his day of birth. Now people have blown its prophecy up into a mockery by making the pretendo versions by Flat 4. The true followers of earlyism will not be led astray and run amuck by these immitations. |

Those are the rims I was thinking of for my bus. Have been searching for a BD with them on. This is the first one I see. Any pictures from the side of this bus??? I am not sure if I like em. Maybee a set of worn OG spritstars is cooler. It would certainly match my bus patina better...

Actually, those are Superiors. Better offset than Ansens.

And "Killer Bs" also. Very nice. How did you squeeze those rears on? Must be massively narrowed.
