All I can say is that I dig the style and am slowly emulating it in black.

It really is the paint that makes a Vicla... same as any self-respecting low rider. There's some amazing s*** at those shows.

Guess mine will never be a "vicla" cuz I ditched the fishtails for 2-1 performance pipes and no one makes a WW for 21x3.25 thats worth a s*#t.

I know your all scared but lots of us run stretched 90s on 21x3.5 rims. I like the look much better. Yes watch for pot holes just like running low pros on a car.
