Re: Flip's 2011 Avante (with flair) build
I agree guys, that is probably the last time they will be on the car especially because the cam lock wheels can get scratched edges every time I swap them.
Edit: You know, I kind of like the view from the rear 3/4 stance with the fat meats in the back, staggered setup. I still prefer the spike tires and cam lock wheels though.
One other thing I forgot to mention, on the camlock wheels, I chose the color setup with the cams in yellow on purpose, why? Because when I was thinking the colors through and pondered orange centers, I realized the wheels would look like a sunflower.

I have yet to find anything those dark impact wheels will fit without shimms, or other minor mods. Did they fit easily on the egress?

Gorgeous car, there's a one-of-a-kind Avante worth ogling.
I love the contrasting orange & yellow anodizing and, like the others before me, the original two-toned wheels.
