hmm how'd you get a 30i with chrome trim? I thought that was only on 48i without sport pkgs.

Or maybe a People's Republic of Canadia thing.

HOT LOOK! But the chrome trims killed it.........

hey guys, thanks for all the comments

my cars not actually black on black...its carbon black, which is really a deep blue metallic. its much more visible in direct sunlight. if my car was full black i would've gotten silver rims instead

its actually not so bad...i have sport suspension so it was pretty much a safari ride to begin with. i just have to avoid potholes

Yesterday was Vancouver's first legit day of summer-ish weather, so I figured I'd take a few pics for u guys of my new rims. Got these to replace my winter wheels earlier this month

Looks good. I hear you on the first legit day of summer. Doesn't look like Vancouver, though, more like Steveston in Richmond. We're in Yaletown, but we ride bikes out to UBC then on to Steveston every week. That block is where we turn around to head home. Small world.
